Hetsuka Beach
Located in the southeastern part of town known for its unique variety of bitter orange, Hetsuka Beach is surrounded by mountains and has a serene and secluded feel. Like Kishira Beach, just 15 minutes north, it is home to many sea turtle nests in the summer. Here, the sparkling blue Pacific is completely unobstructed by the large tetrapods and wave breakers that mark many other coastlines in Japan.
​
Open to the public.
Access
Address: 1310 Kishira, Kimotsuki, Kimotsuki District, Kagoshima 893-1511
Parking is available at the unpaved area where the road ends just before the beach. Swimming is not recommended due to sudden deep spots and riptide.
