The Beauty of Shirarahama Beach in Wakayama! Wakayama's Resort Beach
Shirarahama Beach in Wakayama Prefecture is known as one of Japan's most beautiful beaches.
This beach, with its pure white sand and crystal-clear blue sea, stretches for about 640 meters and attracts many tourists every year.
The sand at Shirarahama is quartz sand imported from Australia, characterized by its whiteness and fine texture.
During the summer swimming season, Shirarahama is bustling with families and couples, and it's also popular as a place to enjoy beach volleyball and marine sports.
In the off-season, the beach is illuminated, offering a magical nighttime view.
With good access and nearby hot springs and accommodations, you can spend a relaxing resort-like time here.

Shirahama is really a good place for retirement
I'm spending the New Year in Shirahama. I thought there would be fireworks, but they might have been cancelled due to the weather. I went to the shrine to experience the atmosphere and also got some amulets and fortune slips. Remember not to let emotions cloud your judgement.
My first resolution for 2024 is to quit drinking. My stomach really can't take it anymore. I vomited all day on the first day and rested for a whole day. But the guesthouse is really beautiful and comfortable. It's just like the Japanese-style houses in my mind, facing the sea. Watching the stars and the moon with my best friend, I think of the people who watched the stars with me in the past. I really cried. I like the quiet sound of the waves and the joy of watching the starry sky without light pollution. Who really understands...
Shirahama is really beautiful. The water of the Western Pacific is so clear. Although the wind is strong, the sand on Shirahama Beach is airlifted from Australia. Everywhere you look is blue and sea water.
