Wakasa Wada Beach
Over the decades, Wada Beach has shifted from a lively summer hub to a serene, world-class beach destination. While its peak visitor numbers have declined since the late 1970s, the charm of soft white sand, crystal-clear water, and scenic sunsets remains unchanged. Today, it’s celebrated not just locally but internationally for its sustainable tourism and beauty.
Crystal-clear shallow waters , white sandy beaches and rows of beach huts; it is no wonder why Wakasa Wada Beach is the most popular beach in Takahama. In 2016 it became Asia’s first beach to be awarded Blue Flag status, a testament to it’s dedication to maintaining safety and beauty.
On Saturdays and Sundays during swimming season first-aid staff are on duty at the first-aid station. There are barrier-free shower rooms, toilets and changing rooms, and special beach wheelchairs available for a fee.
At all beaches in Takahama, we encourage children to wear life jackets for safety. Life jackets can be rented (for a charge) at beach huts.
