Kuromatsu Beach

黒松海水浴場

Shimane · Chugoku

A small, gently-sloping sandy beach in a quiet harbor town in Gotsu City, with clear shallow water for swimming and nearby rocky outcrops popular for fishing.

Why it's hidden

A local swimming spot that draws only a few thousand visitors a year, well off the routes most travelers take through the Iwami coast.
