Atashika Beach
Atashika Beach (新鹿海水浴場 Atashika Kaisui Yokujō) is a nice beach between Owase and Kumano in southern Mie. It is crescent-shaped, has fine sand, and is surrounded by beautiful mountains.
There is parking along the main road, and primitive toilets nearby. It is also possible to camp on one end of the beach for a fee. The southern part of the beach is calmer and better for swimming, though keep an eye out for sting rays. In late fall, swimming is not as enjoyable due to the possibility of stinging jellyfish.
