Scenic beaches. Absolutely this place is worth a visit! The ocean water is very clear and beautiful. We found crabs, hermit crabs, shrimp, and lots of little fish on the rocks on the beach! Restrooms and restaurants are also available on this beach. The waves on Shimoda's beaches tend to be high. However, the locals tell us that this beach is suitable for small children because the waves are weak. Shimoda Station provides information on some of the beaches to see if swimming is allowed that day. Other beaches were closed for swimming due to high waves, but this beach was still open for swimming that day! Perfect beach for families!

(Translated by Google) I've been doing it every year for over 20 years, and it's always a beautiful beach with a transparent, shallow and beautiful beach. Seaweed, driftwood, garbage, etc. are quite disappointed. I think the local people are making a lot of effort, but I look forward to even more efforts. (Original) 20年以上毎年行ってます、いつも透明度たかく遠浅で、きれいな砂浜海岸でしたが、ここ数年は、自然災害で仕方ないとは、思いますが。海藻や流木、ゴミとか、かなりガッカリです。地元の方もかなり努力は、してると思いますが、より一層の努力を期待してます。

Great place to stay with family, free parking, calm sea. My favorite beach.

Not as crowded as Shirahama beach. Out of the beaches in Shimoda, Sotoura is our top pick. It is family friendly and you can definitely have a good time with your kids. Waves are not that strong. They have public showers which costs 500yen per 5 minute and some floaters rental. The parking lot is conveniently located so you don’t have to worry much if you have lots of stuffs to bring.

(Translated by Google) This year is the 4th year. No waves, quiet and ideal for children. There are no strange people and I am calm. Ramen and curry that can be eaten at the shop are also delicious! (Original) 今年で4年目。波がなく、静かで子供連れに最適です。変な人もいなく、落ち着いています。売店で食べられるラーメンや、カレーも美味しい！

(Translated by Google) I went there on March 25th, 2020 ? The clear white ocean with a round clear beach ? Oshima can be seen from the beach. Parking is free during the off-season, and there is a toilet nearby. Please stop by and enjoy the view on a sunny day ? (Original) 2020年3月25日に行きました?円形の広い白い砂浜で透き通る海?大島が浜辺から見えます。オフシーズンは駐車無料で停められ、近くにトイレも完備。ちょっと立ち寄って天気良い日に絶景を堪能してね?

Great little spot for snorkeling (saw a stingray after everyone left for the day) with little schools and coral cozy fish. The rest of the beach is perfect for sunbathing, floating, and little kids - a small wave line and calm waters. Renting a parasol or bringing shade is advised

Parking fee 2000Y, beach OK kids friendly. Toilets are terrible - shame! , and free showers are not in service to force you to use 500Y coin ones.

(Translated by Google) A great place for kids and dogs to play safely. The water is also beautiful! (Original) 子供と犬を安全に遊ばせるには最高の場所。 水もキレイだし！

(Translated by Google) The water was clean, but it was unpleasant because the seaweed entangled in my legs. (Original) 水は綺麗なんだけど、海藻が足に絡み付いて気持ち悪かったです。

(Translated by Google) I was worried whether the seaside house could be opened due to the coronavirus and the weather, but I'm worried about tourists coming to the sea. The price of the parking lot is 1500 yen per car per day! The store is open from 8am to 3pm. Umbrellas and summer beds can be rented until 4:00. Shower reception is until 4 pm! Sotoura coast is characterized by shallow and gentle waves. A beach where families can enjoy themselves. (Original) コロナウイルスの関係と天気の影響で海の家が開けられるか心配されていたけど、ボチボチと観光客が海に来てます。 駐車場の代金は１台１日1500円！売店の営業は8時から3時。パラソルやサマーベットの貸出しは4時まで。シャワーの受付も4時までです！ 遠浅で、穏やかな波が特徴の外浦海岸。家族連れが楽しめる海岸です。

(Translated by Google) If it's a crowded day, do you have to go early? A beautiful beach for families. (Original) 混みそうな日は早めに行かないと駐車場うまっちゃうかも？ファミリー向けのキレイなビーチ。

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place with the most crystal clear water I have ever seen in my life! It is well worth it, as well as being a calm beach with no waves and clean sand as well. (Original) Lugar lindo com a água mais cristalina que já vi na vida! Vale muito a pena, além de ser uma praia calma, sem ondas e de areia limpa também.

Nice beach and facilities in the area

(Translated by Google) The sea is so good that you don't want it to be crowded. Shirahama is better for young people because they are suitable for families. (Original) 混んでほしくないから広めたくないと思うほど良い海。 家族連れ向きなので若者は白浜の方が良いのでは。

Such a beautiful beach 🏖 here in Shimoda me & my family Love it 🥰 not so crowded & wave 🌊 are less than Shirahama 🏝 clear & clean water 👍

No big waves, super clean water. It was a quite wide beach so didn’t feel too crowded.

Very beautiful calm beach. Parking and bathing facilities also available. Very easy to reach from the parking place

Easy to get to beach. Parking was convenient and the showers were nice as well.

波は穏やかで家族向き 但し、水温が低いので気をつけて下さい！ 海に近い駐車場は６時までに来ないと停めれません? 県外ナンバーだらけなので、県内の方にはお勧め出来ませんので?

Very clean beach with pretty white sand, The waves aren’t too big, due to the shaping of the land.

Little or no waves. Water was greenish. For the rest it's cool. I preferred shirahama

Great beach with a lot of parking, but a bit expensive (1,500JPY)

(Translated by Google) Beaches of family-friendly. Sitting on the white sandy beach, overlooking the blue sea, we ate the "octopus balls", which was bought in MaxValu Shimoda store. But was a little cold, I felt delicious than usual. (Original) ファミリー向けの海水浴場。 白い砂浜に座り、青い海を眺めながら、マックスバリュ下田店で買った「たこ焼き」を食べました。少し冷めてましたが、いつもより美味しく感じました。

(Translated by Google) The sea is beautiful. In Minamiizu, there are few people, you can relax. (Original) 海がキレイです。 南伊豆で、人が少ないのは、リラックス出来ます。

(Translated by Google) This year's Bon Festival is struck by typhoons, and other beaches continue to be “no swimming”, so it may be inside the bay. . It is a secret beach that is recommended for families because the waves are usually quiet. (Original) 今年のお盆は台風が直撃し、他の海水浴場が続々と「遊泳禁止」になる中、湾内ということもあり、さすがに波は高めなものの、遊泳可。。普段は波も静かで家族連れにおすすめの穴場海水浴場です。

(Translated by Google) If you can't swim in other places, you can do it here! (Original) 他の場所は遊泳出来ないときもここなら出来るよ！

(Translated by Google) The waves are low and calm in the bay. I want to go to the small island off the coast. The photos are still sparse, probably because of the off-season photos, even during the May holidays. (Original) 湾内で波が低く穏やかだ。沖の小島まで行ってみたくなる。5月の連休中の写真だか、まだオフシーズンのせいか人はまばらである。

It is always a good idea to come to Sotoura beach. It is less crowded, cleaner and waves are not high so it is more appropriate for couple who want some alone time or families with kids.

(Translated by Google) I wanted to kayak (Original) カヤックやりたかったなあ

Fantastic!

(Translated by Google) The sea is very beautiful. (Original) 海がとてもきれいです。

Beautiful beach

This beach is good for kids but don’t have many toilets and is not much clean too, parking is a very difficult and expensive for all day, don’t have a lot restaurants and juice machine

Just like any other beach but the sand is very fine (a little dangerous for electric devices). Also nice to visit with kids.

Very calm and safe beach. Good to come with family. Excellent place for SUP and kayaking. Pets are allowed. We had a nice time.

Nice sand and clean warm water

We went in early October and it was still warm. It was easy to park next to the beach. It’s good because you can beat some of the crowds at the surrounding beaches, but there was more trash than is comfortable in the sand and in the water. If I could give it a more specific rating it would be 3.8, but 4 stars because it’s actually a decent beginner-friendly surf spot too.

Beautiful beach, toilets available, found many besutiful shells

Very nice place with free parking

(Translated by Google) White sand, transparent sea, shallow water, gentle waves. I think it's perfect for a beach resort. It was a top season visit but it wasn't so crowded. (Original) 白砂、透明度の高い海、遠浅、穏やかな波。ビーチリゾートには最適だと思います。トップシーズンの訪問でしたがそこまで混雑して無かったです。

(Translated by Google) High transparency and less waves so children can play with peace of mind (Original) 透明度が高く波が少ないので子供も安心して遊べる

(Translated by Google) No waves. Great for children and babies. Beautiful dawn! (Original) Sem ondas. Ótima para crianças e bebês. Belíssimo amanhecer !

(Translated by Google) I liked the beach, because there are no strong waves, very good for children. (Original) Gostei da praia , pois não tem ondas fortes , muito bom para crianças .

(Translated by Google) I used it in August. There were many people because the neighboring Shirahama was closed, but normally there are not many people. It's a secret place. There is also a bus stop (one bus per hour) nearby, and transportation is fairly good. The waves are not that high. (Original) 8月に利用しました。隣の白浜が閉鎖ということで人が多かったですが、普段は人は多くありません。穴場です。近くにバス停(1時間に1本)もあり、交通の便はまあまあ良いです。波はそんなに高くありません。

Ok

(Translated by Google) The sea people were kind (Original) 海の人が親切でした

(Translated by Google) In the summer of 2020, more than 70% of the beaches in Shimoda, which is less affected by corona, have been opened, and it is located between the famous Shirahama beach and Izukyu Shimoda station. One of. It is one of the popular beaches on Jizawa that was recently introduced on TV. Because it is a beach in a bay surrounded by rocks, there are almost no waves and it feels like a pool with a shallow depth. The water is highly transparent and you can see colorful tropical fish when diving in the rocks! It feels great for families with small children and families of many generations. If you have time, you can swim normally at the beach, enjoy snorkeling and rocky beaches (small fish, hermit crabs, crabs, shrimps, etc.). I could do the SUP I brought. Many people enjoyed fishing on the breakwater in the morning. Not only here but it seems to be about Shimoda as a whole, but I saw a lot of South American and European foreigners, but this seems that foreigners living in the Hamamatsu area will come by car in the summer, so they stay overnight in the car It seems that they will come to beaches and tourist spots from early morning. I haven't seen foreigners so much recently, so I was a little surprised (^^:) The number of parking lots is limited, and many of the above foreigners will park from early morning, so make sure to secure a parking lot early when you come by car (price varies depending on the place and time, but is 1,000 to 4,000 yen). In addition, guests in the surrounding inns may use the parking lot of the inn on the day of check-in but cannot use it on the day of check-out, so it is better to ask about the parking lot when staying. .. There is also a paid shower in the parking lot (500 yen for 5 minutes). There are several Umi no Ie houses, and there are also guest house and stores along the nearby roads. Overall price is normal. There are two public toilets. There is also a life saver's place, but it seems that it is not done every day, and when it is not done, a local fisherman took a fishing boat offshore to check the safety of swimmers. There are many people who do not wear masks, such as avoiding denseness, wearing masks, washing hands with gargling, installing antiseptic solutions, etc. as corona countermeasures are said to be everywhere, but keep an eye on the social distance and leave an interval. I think it was This beach seems to be protected by a small local village, and except for the measures against corona, it felt like a small beach with a strong Showa feeling in the countryside. It's wonderful (^o^) (Original) 2020年夏、コロナの影響の少ない伊豆地方の下田では７割以上の海水浴場が開設されてまして、有名な白浜海水浴場と伊豆急下田駅の間にありますここ外浦海水浴場も開設された海水浴場のひとつ。 最近テレビにも紹介されたジワジワ人気の出ている海水浴場のひとつで、岩場に囲まれた湾の中の海水浴場なので波がほとんどなく、遠浅でプールのような感じ。水の透明度も高く、岩場で潜ると色鮮やかな熱帯魚たちに会えます！小さなお子さんのいる家庭や多世代の家族連れにはちょうどいい感じ。 海水浴場では普通に泳いだり、シュノーケルや岩場で磯遊び(小さい魚やヤドカリ、カニ、エビなど)も楽しくまた、他にもシーカヤックやシュノーケリングが出来るツアーをやってるお店があったり、時間があれば持っていったSUPも出来たんですが。防波堤で朝釣りを楽しむ人も多数いました。 ここだけではなくて下田全体のお話みたいですが、南米や欧米系外国人を数多く見かけましたが、これは浜松方面に在住の外国人が夏になると車でやってくるそうで、彼らは車中泊して早朝から海水浴場や観光地にやってくるそうで。最近外国人をこんなには見なかったのでちょっとビックリしましたね(^^:) 駐車場は数に限りがありまして、早朝から上記の外国人が多数駐車するので、車で来る際は駐車場確保はお早めに(料金は場所や時間によっても違いますが1000～4000円)。また周辺の宿の宿泊者もチェックインの日は宿の駐車場使えてもチェックアウトの日は使えない、なんてこともあるので宿泊の際に駐車場のことは聞いておいた方がいいです。駐車場には有料シャワーもあるところも(５分500円)。 海の家は数店出店、また近くの道路沿いにも民宿兼店舗というお店があります。全体的に価格は普通。公衆トイレは２カ所あります。ライフセイバーさんの詰め所もありますが毎日やっているわけではないようで、いない時は地元の漁師さんが漁船を沖合に出して、遊泳者の安全確認してました。 コロナ対策はどこでも言われている３密を避ける、マスク着用、うがい手洗い、消毒液の設置などで、海水浴客はマスクをしていない人が多いものの、ソーシャルディスタンスはみな気にして間隔は空けられていたように思います。 この海水浴場は地元の小さな集落が守っているようで、コロナ対策の件を除けば、田舎の昭和感が色濃く残る小さな海水浴場という感じでした。ステキです(^o^)

(Translated by Google) Wonderful!! (Original) Maravilhoso!!

(Translated by Google) It was free! Water quality is also OK! (Original) 空いてた！水質もOK！
