Shirongo Beach

This picturesque beach is the site of the Shirongo Matsuri festival. It is off-limits to fishing except on the day of the festival itself. The beach is named after a legendary giant serpent that washed up on these shores after being killed on the neighboring island of Ozukumi-jima. While the beach is open for swimming aside from the day of the festival, please note that the taking of any form of sea life is strictly forbidden.
