ひこっとらんどマリンビーチ

Hikottoland Marine Beach is a seaside swimming area in Shimonoseki with sandy shores and calm waters perfect for bathing. The coast has sections with rocky outcrops where shallow tidal zones form, creating natural pools with interesting marine life.

The beach is located in Shimonoseki, a city with deep maritime roots as a major trading harbor from medieval times onward. The area's history centers on its role in commerce and fishing that shaped the region for centuries.

The beach reflects Shimonoseki's deep connection to the sea and fishing traditions that shape daily life in this coastal city.

The beach has changing rooms, showers, and designated swimming areas with lifeguard coverage in summer. Tidal changes affect access to different areas and visitors should check conditions before heading out, especially if they plan to explore the rocky zones.

Low tide reveals tide pools among the rocky sections where small sea creatures gather in shallow water. This natural phenomenon allows visitors to see marine life that normally stays hidden beneath the waves.
