Tips

Travel by ferry from Chukai Port, then walk from the pier to the beach. Keep small change (300 yen) ready for shower use. Since the beach closes at 4 p.m., start packing by late afternoon, working backward from your ferry departure time. While floats and parasols are available for rent, quantities are limited, so arriving early is advisable.

Best time to visit

After 1 p.m., the afternoon sun is stable, allowing you to enjoy the sea for a long time until the ferry departure
