Overview

Tsuda no Matsubara Beach is located in Tsuda-cho Tsuda, Sanuki City, Kagawa Prefecture, within the Kotoba Park. The approximately 1km stretch of pine forest contrasting with the white sand beach is strikingly beautiful, earning its place among Japan's Top 100 Beaches. The ancient pine grove, originally planted in the early Edo period as a windbreak for Iwashimizu Hachimangu Shrine, boasts numerous old pine trees over 600 years old, their majestic presence calming and inspiring visitors. In summer, it transforms into Kagawa's largest beach, teeming with bathers. The calm waves and excellent water quality make it safe and enjoyable for families with young children. Beyond swimming and sandcastle building, the beach offers opportunities for various activities like beach volleyball and frisbee. Beyond the beach, a stroll through the pine grove is highly recommended. Sunlight filters through the trees, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere. The sounds of birdsong and rustling leaves offer a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The beach beyond the grove also offers spectacular sunset views. Tsuda no Matsubara Beach is the perfect place to connect with nature and unwind. Visit and experience its beauty for yourself.
