Swim until just before evening on a beach beside Motomachi Port (元町港)
About this spot
A swimming beach at Kobohama (弘法浜) in Motomachi, Oshima Town, spreading out right beside Motomachi Port (元町港). In 2026 it is open from Saturday, July 18 to Sunday, August 16, with swimming hours from 9:00 to 16:00. Its appeal lies in the excellent location, reachable on foot from the port, and in the clear waters unique to Izu Oshima (伊豆大島), so you can start enjoying the sea as soon as you cross to the island. Swimming is free. From splashing at the water's edge to resting on the sand, each family member can savor summer island time at their own pace.
