Atami Sun Beach
熱海サンビーチ
An artificial white-sand beach in central Atami, lit up at night. It is also the main viewing spot for the Atami fireworks festival over the sea.
Atami Sun Beach is about a 15-minute walk southeast of Atami Station. The artificial beach is roughly 400 meters long and backed by tiers of hot spring hotels. Swimming is open from July to August. At night the sand and palm trees are lit up, earning it the nickname “the Riviera of the East.” Atami's sea fireworks festival holds more than ten shows a year, and the bay acts as a natural amphitheater, with the beach as the best viewing point. Next to the beach, the waterfront park “Moonlight Terrace” is pleasant for a stroll and is open all day for free.
Opening hours
