Kisakihama Beach
木崎浜
A surf spot beside Miyazaki Airport with consistently good waves, which has hosted national surfing championships and other major events.
Kisakihama lies on the south side of Miyazaki Airport and is one of Japan's best-known surf beaches. Waves are consistent throughout the year, and it has hosted the World Surfing Games and the All-Japan Surfing Championships. Surf shops and surf schools cluster near the beach, and beginners can join a roughly two-hour introductory lesson. Rip currents here are strong, so it is not suitable for ordinary swimming. The gentler Aoshima beach to the south is good for swimming and stand-up paddleboarding in summer. It is about 15 minutes' drive from central Miyazaki.
