高砂海浜公園, Coastal park in Takasago, Japan.
Takasago Kaihin Park spreads along the coast with artificial islands, shallow bays, and a sandy beach lined with pine trees at the Kakogawa River mouth. The park provides different zones for walking, swimming, and relaxing while looking out at the water.
The location traces back to the Edo period, when a military fort was built on Mukaishima Island in 1863 for coastal defense. This fort was one of several defensive structures protecting the region during that era.
Locals use this park year-round for fishing, walking, and spending time by the Seto Inland Sea with family and friends. The shallow waters and sandy areas attract people who want to swim and enjoy outdoor leisure without traveling far from the city.
The park is about 30 minutes on foot from Takasago Station on the Sanyo Electric Railway, with parking available for those driving. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes to explore the different areas and expect the best conditions during warmer months.
From several viewing spots in the park, photographers can capture the sun setting directly on the horizon, creating a perfect red disc above the water. These moments draw people who love sunset photography and make the place a favorite for nature shots.
