Moshi Beach continues to the south of Omoto Beach. Highlights include Matsushima, known as Fossil Island, and Namikogamai, a sea shelf resembling a washboard. This area was famous for producing shellfish fossils from 100 million years ago, such as ammoites, but it became a hot topic in 1978 when the fossil of Japan's first large herbivorous dinosaur was discovered. It is named ``Moshiryu'' after the place name.
