Oshima Beach

Located in the town of Shika, Ishikawa Prefecture, Oshima Beach overlooks the vast Japan Sea to the west, and is a beautiful stretch of white sand and pine forests. The unobstructed sea and the setting sun that beautifully dyes the entire sky create a unique Noto landscape. There is a large campground right behind the sandy beach where the beach is open for swimming, and it is crowded with families enjoying recreational activities, especially during the summer.
