Shirarahama, Beach in Shirahama, Japan.
White sand stretches across 800 meters of coastline along the Pacific Ocean, with clear waters meeting the shore at Shirarahama Beach.
The beach has served as a vital coastal landmark in Wakayama Prefecture since the establishment of Shirahama Jinja shrine at its western edge.
Local celebrations and summer festivals bring together residents and visitors at Shirarahama Beach, where traditional ceremonies often take place near the shrine.
Visitors can access the beach via hourly buses from Izukyu-Shimoda Station, with rental facilities for beach equipment available during swimming season from July to September.
The mineral composition of the sand creates a natural white appearance that maintains its color throughout the year, contrasting with the blue waters.
