Located in the southern part of the Oga Peninsula, this 1.5 km coastline is known as the "Uyuni Salt Flats of Akita" for its stunning mirror-like reflections on the water's surface. The breathtaking sight of blue skies or sunsets mirrored in the shallow waters is especially captivating on windless days when clouds reflect perfectly on the calm sea.

During low tide, you can walk up to 200 meters offshore and enjoy a leisurely stroll while watching your step. The Beach offers various activities, including tidepooling, shell collecting, and exploring the unique "Oni no Sentakuiwa" (Demon's Washboard), a natural rock formation resembling a massive washboard created by wave erosion. Fossils of fish bones and scales, along with shells and stones, can occasionally be discovered here. Additionally, the "Azuki-iwa" area, scattered with small, bean-shaped rocks, is another highlight.

The Beach is equipped with a park featuring children’s play equipment, parking, restrooms, and free cold-water showers available from spring to autumn, making it a family-friendly destination.
