Nishihama Beach

Nishihama Beach

The sea is very quiet at this beach since it is located in a small inlet. A little rocky island with a little shrine on it sits right in front of the beach. It is connected to the road by a little walkway and one can use a robe for the short steep climb up the rock. Behind this, the beach looks out over the mountain Tsubute Rock, a protected part of Saikai National Park. The beach is not very big which gives it the feel of a private beach.
