About
Surfing & bodyboarding off a busy shoreline where beach huts specialize in grilled hamaguri clams.
The full picture
Katakai Beach is a central hub on the Kujukuri coastline, popular for its surfing waves and traditional beach huts that serve local grilled hamaguri clams.
It suits surfers, bodyboarders, and families looking for a well-equipped beach with full amenities.
Summer is the primary season for beach hut services, though surfers visit year-round.

Great. The 海の家 was a great choice even a little bit of shade and shower was worth it.
Waves are good but there is a strong pull to each side. If you get two far to the side the life guards come out to ask you to move to a safer spot.
Lots of parking available for 1000 yen let car.

When we arrived at 8am in the morning it was like a little bit foggy as you’ll see in the video . Water temperature was good and just be careful of the waves ..There’s a clam as well but not allowed to get those . You’ll be penalized if you do so.
