Relatively close to the city center and easily accessible by car, it is a favorite place of rest and relaxation not only for tourists but also for locals.
Reasons why Shiraho Coast is popular and how to enjoy it
The main attraction of the Shiraho Coast is the large colony of blue coral, which has been designated a natural monument.
The water is teeming with colorful tropical fish and sea turtles, and snorkeling in the crystal clear waters is truly otherworldly♪
To avoid damaging the coral, it is common to take an eco-tour led by a local guide!
Shiraho Beach is also known as a quiet beach that is not overly touristy. The waves are calm, perfect for those who want to spend a relaxing time ◎
