Harutahama Beach
Harutahama Beach is an artificially constructed area where visitors can enjoy snorkeling and diving. Its closed-off environment makes for lower waves and quieter water, and so the beach is suitable for safe swimming, in particular for families with children. Showers and toilets are available within walking distance.
The rich coral reef here means some of the island’s best snorkeling and diving opportunities are found here. It also offers good mountain views, while the island of Tanegashima is visible on the horizon on clear days. Small crabs and other small creatures can be seen along the seafront.
