You know, if I lived here, I would probably come here every day. It's such a cool and beautiful beach. There's a basketball court, a skateboard rink, an exercise section, huge sandy beach, a free shower, etc.
By the way, the proper way to hike Kumano Kodo is to start with the "Shiogori" which purifies you and marks the start of your pilgrimage into Nakahechi.

Just a short stroll from Kii-Tanabe station, you'll find our beloved Ogigahama Park, a perfect seaside escape. The park opens onto a beautiful, fan-shaped sandy beach with calm, clear waters ideal for a relaxing swim in the summer. It's a favorite local spot to catch a breathtaking sunset over the bay or simply unwind on the open lawns any time of year.
