The coastline of white sand and green pine trees is approximately 1 kilometer long, and is one of the largest in the prefecture, having been selected as one of the "100 Best Beaches in Japan" and "100 Best Swimming Beaches." Throughout the year, you can enjoy marine sports such as yachting and windsurfing, as well as beach soccer and beach yoga. During the summer swimming season, the Seto Inland Sea's first "water park" is also set up, where you can enjoy the sea to your heart's content, including water slides.
