Hanaguri Swimming Beach, situated in the Setonaikai National Park, is an artificial beach that also includes a water park and a promenade above the sea. Everyone, young or old, can bathe here without worry.

Held every year at the end of August on Kasado Island, it is one of the few such events anywhere in Japan.
Contestants paddle hand-made rafts over a 1.5 km course from Hanaguri Beach to Cape Oojou and back, competing to see who has the best time.
There is always a loudly cheering crowd at the beach.
