Enjoy rock-pool play and sea bathing in a cove ringed by reefs
About this spot
A swimming beach facing Iwa Beach in Manazuru Town, open in 2026 from Saturday, July 18 to Sunday, August 30. Swimming hours are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Its terrain is like a small cove ringed by reefs, and calm waves are its hallmark. The appeal is clear water and an environment where you can observe shore creatures up close, so both sea bathing and rock-pool play are on offer. The rocky shoreline unique to the Manazuru Peninsula shows families scenery with a flavor quite different from a sandy beach.
Season & hours

Tips
Access is basically by bus or car from Manazuru Station. There are many rocky areas, so water shoes are reassuring. If you plan to play until evening, allow time to change and start wrapping up around 4:00 p.m. for a smooth finish.
Best time to visit
From just after 1:00 p.m. the sunlight steadies, leaving a long stretch of afternoon to play until evening
