Yumigahama is a beach that looks like an arc of about 1.2 kilometers with white sand unique to Minami-Izu. The tropical atmosphere that does not seem to be Japan is popular. In Ounohama, you can see sculpture-like strange rocks formed by wave erosion. Cape Tarai is an unexplored area that you can never enter by car, and you can have a wonderful view of the sea all to yourself.

Ounohama Coast
Right next to Yumigahama, it is a secluded pebble beach. The strange rocks scattered around the beach have names such as shrimp holes and sparrow rocks and they are worth seeing. The unique rocks look like sculptures created by nature.

Cape Tarai
It is a promontory on the border of Shimoda City and Minami-Izu Town and is a viewpoint of a panoramic view of the Izu Islands. The observatory is round so that you can see the names of the islands that can be seen from there.
