Bayside Beach Saka

Flow of the course

About this spot

This is an artificial sandy beach about 1.2 km long, developed along the coast of Saka Town in Aki District. It stretches long and narrow beside National Route 31 and the JR Kure Line (JR呉線), and you can walk along the water's edge while looking out at the islands on the far shore. In the morning there are few people, so collecting shells and playing in the sand at a leisurely pace is the real appeal. It is only about 10 minutes by car from Kure Portopia Park, making it a perfect detour to soak up the sea air before your water play. There are also lawn rest areas, showers and toilets, so it is an easy shoreline to visit with small children.

Tips

There is free parking, but it fills up from before noon on summer holidays. Early in the morning it is easier to park and the sun is still gentle. The swimming season and whether lifeguards are on duty change from year to year, so check the information from Saka Town if you plan to swim. Sand gets into shoes easily, so sandals or footwear you do not mind getting wet are recommended.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 15 minutes. The morning, before the sun grows strong, is most comfortable.
