Enjoy the summer sea at the white sandy beach selected as one of Japan's 100 Best Beaches
About this spot
A representative beach of Hikari City with beautiful white sand stretching approximately 1.7 km. Selected as one of Japan's 100 Best Beaches, it faces the peaceful Suo-nada Strait with calm waves, making it a beloved beach where families can play with children in confidence. This beach is also the venue for tonight's fireworks festival; understanding the beach's atmosphere, size, and restroom locations during daytime will make a significant difference when night falls. With its shallow gradient and clear water, bringing swimwear and a change of clothes allows you to fully enjoy summer at the sea. The contrast between the summer blue sky and white sand is beautiful; be sure to take memorable photos of the beach in its daytime appearance on the festival day.
