Overview
Katano Beach is a beautiful beach located in Kaga City, Ishikawa Prefecture, facing the Sea of Japan. Its stunning scenery features a line of white rocks, creating a breathtaking view, especially at sunset. The contrast of the orange sky and sea at dusk is truly magical and perfect for Instagram-worthy photos. The beach is wide and relatively shallow, making it safe and enjoyable for families with young children. While it's bustling with beachgoers in the summer, the off-season offers a tranquil escape to enjoy nature's serenity.
The white rocks are the result of centuries of erosion by the waves, each one uniquely shaped. Climbing to the top of these rocks reveals even more magnificent views. A pine forest lines the coast, offering shade and a peaceful place to rest.
Katano Beach is not just a place to appreciate natural beauty; it's also an ideal spot for relaxation and rejuvenation. We highly recommend a visit.
