Some say this is the best sunset spot on the island. It certainly has the right west-facing orientation and a blissfully scenic mile-long sandy beach. You’ll find rest rooms, showers and a lifeguard station at the park’s southern end. Swimming is limited to the summer and then only when calm. When the water’s flat, it’s also possible to snorkel. The best spot with the easiest access is on the south side of the bay.
Winter brings huge, pounding waves, making Yokohama a popular seasonal surfing and bodysurfing spot that’s best left to the experts because of submerged rocks, strong rips and a dangerous shorebreak.
