When it comes to summer, nothing beats a day at the beach! Enjoying nature under the radiant sun is a quintessential summer activity. This time, let me introduce you to Kada Beach, just a 15-minute walk from Kada Station. Among several beaches in Wakayama City, Kada Beach is located furthest north.

Featuring fine natural white sand that feels soft to the touch, this beach spans about 250 meters. With its shallow waters and gentle waves, it's popular among families with children. It's also a great spot for beachside barbecues.

Moreover, Kada Beach is designated as one of Japan's Top 100 Sunsets. Watching the sun dip below the horizon, painting the sky orange, creates a truly enchanting scene. Using the driftwood arches on the beach, capturing some Instagram-worthy photos is highly recommended.

Kada Beach showcases different charms throughout the day. Whether it's during the daytime or at dusk, each moment is incredibly captivating. Be sure to savor the ever-changing scenery! Why not visit for a summer outing or to create unforgettable memories?

Regular boats operate four round trips a day, increasing to six during peak periods. However, schedules may vary depending on the season and weather conditions, so be sure to check Tomogashima Ferry's website or Twitter.
