Miyazaki-Sakai Beach (Jade Beach) 宮崎・境海岸(ヒスイ海岸)
After a refreshing swim in the ocean, try cod soup, the local specialty!
This beautiful pebble beach stretches 4 km from east to west. In the summer, it is a popular with young people and families as a place to swim. It gets the nickname "Jade Beach" from the jade stones which wash onto shore; after a day of strong waves, people can be seen enjoying themselves searching for fresh jade stones. From the steep mountains nearby to the coast colored by the sinking sun, the beautiful natural surroundings make this a favorite place for enjoying the sunset. Restaurants near the beach and lodgings serve cod soup, a local treat. Originally prepared for the area's fishermen, visitors simply must try the hearty, fresh cod soup during their stay. This spot is ideal not only for swimming, but also for walks along the beach.
