Takahama Beach
高浜海水浴場
One of Japan's 100 Selected Beaches, with white sand and water shading from light blue to emerald green. It is often called one of Japan's most beautiful beaches.
Takahama Beach lies in Mitsuiraku on the northwest coast of Fukue Island, with fine white sand and water that shifts from light blue to emerald green. It has been selected for the '100 Selected Japanese Beaches' and '100 Selected Clean Swimming Beaches' lists. A viewing platform on the heights overlooks the entire bay. The neighboring Tondomari Beach to the south is equally clear, so the two are worth visiting together. Lifeguards and showers are available in July and August; the rest of the year the beach is best suited for photos and walks. No bus goes directly there. It takes about 40 minutes by car from Fukue Port.
