Oarai Beach is the largest beach in Japan’s Kanta area, and as such, is one of the region’s most popular beaches. It covers an extensive portion of the coastline, extending from the fishing port of Oarai down to the bluffs near the edge of town. One of the more surprising aspects of Oarai Beach is that it’s almost as deep as the beach is wide. The majority of the sandy areas a dn the shoreline are very flat, but covered by beautiful white sand. The beach’s lack of rocky outcroppings provides smooth waters for water sports and swimming.
