Takohama Beach

Miyako City

Coast

Nature / Scenery

    A beach made of dark brown conglomerate that contrasts with the white rocks of Jodogahama. It is located behind Jodogahama Beach and is not very noticeable, making it a little-known spot. Many holes created by seawater erosion can be seen in the rocks on the coast. In addition, the coastline itself is beautiful and is a lively beach for local children in the summer. It is located about 15 minutes along the promenade from Jodogahama Beach. *There are no plans to open the sea in 2020.

    Sano Rock (prefecturally designated natural monument)

    Sano-iwa, which appears to rise from the sea, is made up of three gigantic rocks: the drum-shaped Taiko-iwa, the 50m-high Otoko-iwa, and the Onna-iwa nearby. There is a sea cave in Otokowa, and it is said that passing through it will bring you good luck. The rock has layers of Cretaceous conglomerate and sandstone. There is a promenade nearby, and you can also do sea fishing. The further down the promenade you go, the closer you will see the brave rock formations. Dynamic rock fishing can be enjoyed all along the coast from Taro Port to Masaki and Myojinzaki. You can catch greenling, sea bass, donko, perch, mackerel, etc. The season is from May to December.
