Season & hours

Tips

With only about 20 parking spaces, arriving early is wise on busy days. Swimming hours end at 5:00 PM, so plan to wrap up around 4:45 PM to allow time for changing. The Sanriku Sea can feel cool when windy, so bringing an extra layer is a good idea.

Best time to visit

After 1:30 PM in the afternoon is an ideal time for a leisurely swim until evening.
