Shoningahama, nestled in the picturesque city of Beppu, Japan, is a quaint yet captivating beach known for its unique charm. Spanning a modest length, the beach boasts pristine, light-colored sand that glistens under the sun, offering a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. While it might not be the largest beach, Shoningahama compensates with a plethora of activities including swimming, sunbathing, beach volleyball, and scenic strolls along the water's edge. However, potential visitors should note that Shoningahama has few amenities, so plan your trip accordingly, although it does not have lifeguard services, bathroom access, allowance for dogs, or facilities for the disabled, ensuring a more natural and undisturbed beach experience.

Regarding culinary offerings, the vicinity of Shoningahama does not disappoint. A notable dining spot is ‘Seafood Haven’, renowned for its fresh, locally-sourced fish and traditional Japanese dishes. Another gem is ‘Beppu Bites’, a restaurant celebrated for its fusion cuisine, providing a modern twist to classic recipes. These establishments, among others, promise a delightful gastronomic experience, catering to a range of palates and preferences.

When it comes to accommodation, visitors to Shoningahama have several compelling options. ‘Oceanview Stay’, as the name suggests, offers rooms with stunning views of the sea, providing a tranquil setting that complements the beachside experience.

Parking at Shoningahama is relatively straightforward, given its somewhat secluded location. The beach does not host its own parking lot, which emphasizes the importance of planning ahead.
