Shirahama Ohama Beach
Located in Shimoda City on the southeastern coast of the Izu Peninsula, Shirahama Ohama Beach is part of the long Shirahama coastline, which stretches north to south and is divided into two sections by Shirahama Shrine. The southern section, Ohama Beach, is one of Japan’s most famous seaside spots, renowned for its stunning contrast between emerald-green waters and brilliant white sand.
It totally feels like a dream beach! The sand is super white and really fine, so it’s super comfy to walk on. The water is such a clear, beautiful blue—every photo turns out amazing. It does get pretty crowded in the summer, but the vibe is lively and it really feels like a vacation spot. There are shops and restaurants right nearby, so you can grab something to eat when you’re tired from swimming—super convenient. Overall, it’s the perfect place to just relax, soak up the sun, and enjoy the ocean view. 🌊☀️
