北浦臨海Park, Combined recreational facility in Hyuga, Japan
Hokuhō Kaiyōhama Park is a recreational facility located along the eastern coast of Kyushu that offers both water and land-based activities. The space stretches along the shoreline with different areas for swimming, walking, and relaxing while overlooking the ocean.
The facility was developed in the late 1980s as part of Japan's broader effort to create public coastal spaces. It reflects the national interest at that time in building recreational areas accessible to everyone along the shore.
The park serves as a gathering place where people spend time by the water for walks, family outings, and casual recreation. The coastal setting becomes part of daily life for nearby residents who use the space throughout the year.
The park is easily accessible by car with parking areas near the main entrances. Visitors should pay attention to tides and weather since these affect water activities and beach conditions throughout the day.
The area has distinctive marine life due to its location where two ocean currents meet. This natural feature makes it interesting for wildlife watchers, though it is not immediately obvious to casual visitors exploring the park.
