I probably wouldn't have discovered Toguchi Beach Park if it hadn't been for my church. It conducts all of its baptisms in the water here between two limestone bluffs. My family has witnessed dozens of members of Belmont Church get cleansed; I even held my wife's hand as the pastor baptized her. Its a special place to us. We've come back many times to enjoy its beautiful blue water beach which very often is shallow and perfect for walking out to look for clams, sea urchins and crabs. We've seen scuba divers here, skin divers, and photographers shooting models. Our kids love to run around the trails and play on the playground. I like the views of the ocean. There is a small restaurant on site and a few vending machines. There are lots of tables, benches and pavilions to sit at. The park is open to the public free of charge and is open around the clock.

Toguchi Beach Park
A Low Tide Adventure along the China Sea and Hija River

Community writer

There's a pavillion at the highest point of Toguchi Beach Park; pack a lunch and enjoy the views of the East China Sea, the Hija River, and Yomitan Village

The water from Hija River meets the East China Sea

During a full Moon the water isn't that deep, but closer to a new Moon Toguchi Beach Park is a great place to swim

Most of the limestone bluffs have trails on them, but this one must be scaled

The mouth of the Hija River can be seen in the distance

Toguchi Beach Park's paved pathways go up and down the limestone bluffs as well as along the shoreline

Walk trails along, atop and through limestone bluffs

An islet just off shore from Toguchi Beach is exposed during the low tide when the Moon is full

The small playground at Toguchi Beach has plenty of sand, a rock climbing wall, a slide, and a toddler jungle gym
