Setoda Sunset Beach stretches for 2,625 feet and has been recognized as one of Japan's 88 Best Swimming Beaches. This seaside sports park features a white-sand beach and, as its name suggests, offers beautiful sunset views over the Seto Inland Sea. It also has facilities for camping and activities such as sea kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP).

The beach is also located at the midpoint of the Shimanami Kaido Cycling Road, which connects Onomichi and Imabari and was Japan's first cycling route to cross a strait. A bicycle rental terminal is available here, making it easy to stop during a ride and take a break at the cafe-restaurant while admiring the beautiful coastline.

There are also plenty of nearby attractions, including the Tatara Bridge and Hyotan Island Cruise and the Three-storied Pagoda of Kojoji Temple, a National Treasure built in the early Muromachi period.

    This is a great place to slow down and enjoy the ocean view. The beach faces the Seto Inland Sea and offers a very open view. On clear days, you can see the sea and the surrounding islands in the distance. I especially recommend coming before evening. As the sun slowly sets, the sky and water are bathed in warm colors, creating a very romantic atmosphere. Sitting by the sea, feeling the breeze, and quietly watching the sunset is also a relaxing and soothing moment during a trip to the Seto Inland Sea.

    I came here with some fellow cycling enthusiasts to take on the Shimanami Kaido. The sunset glow here was absolutely stunning.
