Speaking of summer leisure, it’s definitely the sea! In the Futtsu area of ​​Chiba Prefecture, there are not only famous beaches but also some hidden beaches that are only known to those in the know. For those who want to avoid the crowds and enjoy the sea in a private setting, here are some recommended hidden beaches around Futtsu.

“Shinmaiko Coast” in Futtsu City is a calm coast that is also called the “Cote d’Azur” of Tokyo Bay due to its beautiful scenery. The waves are calm and shallow, so even families with small children can enjoy playing in the water with peace of mind. Although there are few fancy facilities such as beach huts, it has a quiet and calm atmosphere, making it the perfect place to relax on the sandy beach.

The next recommended spot is Kazusa Minato Beach. This is also located in Futtsu City, and while it is easily accessible within walking distance from the station, it is a little-known spot that is relatively less crowded. The sandy beach is wide and the waves are calm. On clear days, you can see Mt. Fuji across Tokyo Bay. It has a local atmosphere that makes you feel like locals come for a walk, and you can spend a relaxing summer day here.

There are also quiet beaches with few people scattered along the coast located on the south side of Cape Futtsu. Although you need to be careful when swimming in areas that are not developed as beaches, it is a great environment for beachcombing (picking up washed up items), playing in the water on the shore, or just relaxing while looking at the ocean.

The bustle of the major beaches is fun, but why not spend some relaxing time listening to the sound of the waves at a quiet little-known beach? Create your own summer memories with the feel of a private beach.
