About

Truly a gem, and hidden in plain view!

Atmosphere:
Okuragahama is a dream-spot. The beach front is extremely long, clean and totally unspoiled. On most days there is a fun point-break that is great for beginners and experts alike. Its also got enclosed showers which is always nice.

Additional Info:
From the beach looking at the ocean- right side is small but clean consistant waves great for longboarding and beginners, middle to left is good sets great for all riders, left to far left is little bigger sets with a medium undertow(north and south waves meet). Not a good spot for beginners.

Open fires and BBQ are on the beach are ok and fireworks are ok. Overnight camping is ok on the beach and parking lot.Beach is huge so plenty of space. Camping on the grass in the back is 1000yen a night($10 us). Outdoor and indoor showers are 100yen for 5 minutes of water($1 us). Summer time there is a open shop in the back of the parking lot for eats and drinks. There is handicap access, shower, and toilet.
