Iwasehama Beach, Public beach in Toyama, Japan
The beach stretches for one kilometer along Toyama Bay, featuring a 50-meter deep shoreline bordered by traditional Japanese pine trees.
The beach area developed during the Edo period when the Iwase port became a vital trading post for kitamaebune merchant ships.
Local residents gather at Iwasehama Beach during summer festivals to participate in traditional bon odori dances and firework displays.
The beach provides free parking for 200 vehicles, shower facilities, changing rooms, and remains open from July through mid-September.
From the shore, visitors can observe the natural phenomenon of firefly squid illuminating the waters between March and May.
