Beach
The Seto Inland Sea region enjoys an easy environment for swimming, where dry land is never far away, the sea is blessed with gentle waves and the current constantly refreshes the water which laps onto the sandy beaches. This same current, however, can lead the swimmer to sharp coastlines - remember to stay within the bays!

These bays consist of beautiful natural inlets, with white sand and pine trees, and also some amazing man-made, well-organized beach resorts. While enjoying these facilities, you can relax knowing that the area enjoys a relatively warm climate, low rainfall and clear skies during summer. Be warned, though - the late summer brings stinging jellyfish to the shores, something you may want to keep in mind when scheduling your beach trip!

Other points to bear in mind - some facilities such as showers are only available during the peak summer months, and camping is only allowed in designated sites. Also, there are no topless / nudist facilities.
