Tropical Shirarahama Beach Area
Shirarahama is without a doubt the number one beach area in the Kansai area with its soft waves rolling from the shallows over the white sand. The palm tree leaf umbrellas lining the beach along with the contrast of the blue sky and white sandy beach make for a remarkable tropical atmosphere. Shirarahama is also included in the “Top 100 Beaches in Japan.”

Beautiful Sunsets of Shirarahama
Shirarahama also has a great reputation for magnificent sunsets. In the early evening you can enjoy the beauty of Shirarahama outside of the busy beach season. During summer there are firework shows and in winter beautiful illuminations. Walking barefoot on the soft white sand while watching the sea is something to enjoy all year round here at Shirarahama.

Engetsu-to
Located about a 20-minute walk from the beach, one can get great views of the symbol of Shirahama, Engetsu-to (island). The sunsets here are particularly amazing with the island’s dark silhouette against the painted skies, making it one of the “100 Sunsets in Wakayama Prefecture.”

Sandanbeki Cliffs
Stretching across 2 km and standing at heights of 50 – 60 m are the famous sheer Sandanbeki Cliffs of Shirahama. Located atop the bluffs are observation platforms that look out across the grand seascape. There are also caverns located 36 m underground which one can take an elevator to from the top of the cliffs and see the inside of the caves.
