From small children playing in the shallow water to adults who want to swim out into deeper waters, families can enjoy the beach at their own pace in this open and spacious setting. It is a fitting finale to a day spent exploring Hinomisaki and Inasa Beach, offering ample time to fully savor the summer Sea of Japan.
