Kotohikihama (Kakezu)
Kotobikihama Beach, located in Amino-cho, is a 1.8km-long beach famous for its "singing sands," due to the high quartz content of the sand. It is the world's first non-smoking beach, and those who protect the beach help with environmental conservation throughout the region. The beach is just stunning. The seawater is also well-known for how transparent it is.
