Setoda Sunset Beach

Setoda Sunset Beach is located in Onomichi city in south-eastern Hiroshima Prefecture. It is the name of a seaside park at Ikuchijima island, located along the Shimanami Kaido, a driving route connecting Hiroshima and Ehime prefectures.

Since Ikuchijima is famous as the largest producer of lemons in Japan, this beach is also called "Shimanami Lemon Beach". The artificial coastline’s length is 800 meters and it is shallow enough for you to relax while swimming in the ocean. The calm waters of the Seto Inland Sea allows you to enjoy a variety of marine sports like sea kayaking. There are also rentals for camping and BBQ, pay showers, and a restaurant. This is a convenient rest stop for Shimanami Kaido cycling.

As you could tell from the name, you can enjoy the beautiful sunset at Setoda Sunset Beach. The view of the horizon slowly being painted red by the sunset cannot be missed. Also, in each August there is the Setoda-cho Summer Fireworks Festival. You can enjoy the 300 meter-long "Niagara" fireworks which effectively utilize the topography of the beach.
