A beach with a wide sandy shore and well-equipped facilities... There is also a separate parking lot... but it seems insufficient... Various pretty cafes are lined up along the beach...

This is the beach on Cafe Street. Since Cafe Street is very crowded, I recommend parking in a secluded spot and walking from the pine forest. There is an extreme sports business here, so if you enjoy that, be sure to check it out.
