Hiraiso Coast

Hiraiso Coast is a natural monument along the Pacific Ocean featuring steep cliffs, massive boulders, and dramatic rock formations rising from the water. The landscape shows a variety of geological features with jagged edges and layered stone faces that extend across the shoreline.

The rock formations developed over millions of years through natural erosion and earth's geological movements. The site was later designated as a protected natural monument to preserve this geological record.

The coast holds deep meaning for local fishing communities who have worked these waters for generations. Today, their boats and gear are still part of the daily rhythm of the place, connecting the landscape to the people who depend on it.

The coast is accessible through parking areas and walking paths that lead to several viewing points along the shoreline. Visiting during low tide reveals more of the natural features and allows exploration of tidal zones.

At low tide, natural pools form between the rocks where small sea creatures and plants live temporarily exposed. These tidal zones reveal a miniature ocean ecosystem that few visitors expect to find.
