Summer Water Play in Crystal-Clear Waters
About this spot
A beach in Ogachi Town characterized by calm waves and high water transparency. A beach enjoyed by local families, with the voices of children playing in the sea echoing during summer vacation season. Located in a cove surrounded by mountains, the waves are calm and relatively safe even for families with small children. After swimming, it's good to check in advance if there are facilities to rinse off salt water.
