Nestled in the charming town of Makinohara, Sakai Port offers a picturesque stretch of coastline that is a hidden gem in Japan. Unlike the more renowned beaches, Sakai Port boasts a peaceful ambiance with its dark, volcanic sand that stretches for miles, providing a unique beach experience. Unfortunately, Sakai Port has few amenities, so plan your trip accordingly, although it does have a spectacular natural landscape and opportunities for leisurely walks, bird watching, and enjoying the serene environment. Activities such as swimming, sunbathing, and picnicking can be enjoyed, although it's important to come prepared as there are no lifeguards on duty, bathroom access, or facilities for dogs. The lack of amenities emphasizes the beach's natural beauty and tranquility, making it a perfect retreat for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of busier destinations.
