国営海の中道海浜公園
A national park on the sandbar north of Hakata Bay, with seasonal flower fields, an animal forest, a pool and seaside cycling paths. It is popular with families.
Uminonakamichi Seaside Park is a national park on a sandbar linking to Shikanoshima. It covers about 350 hectares, with the sea on both its north and south sides. In spring it has rapeseed, baby blue eyes and tulips, and in autumn the vast cosmos fields are spectacular. The park also has the small-animal contact area 'Animal Forest', children's play facilities, a large pool open in summer, and cycling paths, with bicycles available to rent within the park. Admission is about 450 yen. The Uminonakamichi Aquarium, known as Marine World, is next to the park and can be visited at the same time. Getting there: take the JR Kashii Line from JR Hakata Station to Umi no Nakamichi Station, about 35 minutes. Alternatively, take a ferry from Marizon, about 20 minutes.
