Food Stalls and Lunch While Strolling Through Tamashima's Old Town
About this spot
An area with old merchant houses from Tamashima that spreads out where you descend from Entuji Park into the downtown. Perfect for leisurely strolling through streets lined with white-walled homes and charming storefronts while enjoying food stalls and lunch. The calm atmosphere characteristic of Tamashima, which prospered as a port town from the Edo period, remains intact. It's also ideal for settling in at a cool restaurant to eat before afternoon sea bathing. Fill your stomach here before heading to the beach.

Venue: 倉敷市・沙美海水浴場
倉敷市の瀬戸内海に面した沙美海水浴場は、2026年は7月1日(水)から8月23日(日)までの期間開設されます。遠浅で波の穏やかな砂浜が続き、小さな子ども連れでも安心して波打ち際で遊べるのが魅力です。7月・8月には管理棟が営業し、西浜には150台分の駐車場も用意されているため、車でのおでかけにも便利。遊泳は無料なので、浮き輪やビーチボールを持って気兼ねなく海遊びを楽しめます。波打ち際での水遊びから砂のお城づくりまで、夕方までたっぷり夏の瀬戸内の海を満喫しましょう。
Tips
西浜の駐車場(150台)を利用できます。管理棟は7月・8月の営業なので、シーズン中は休憩や着替えの拠点として活用を。夏の砂浜は素足だと熱いので、ビーチサンダルを忘れずに。夕方は日差しが和らぎ過ごしやすくなります。
Tips
Within walking distance from Entuji Park. During summer daytime, the sun is strong, so take frequent breaks and stay hydrated. Dining spots can get crowded around lunchtime, so arriving around 11 AM is recommended for a smoother experience.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour required. Arriving around 11 AM, before the lunch rush, is most convenient.
