With a white sandy beach, clear blue water, a lighthouse, a simple and colorful “church,” seaside grasses with wildflowers, and adjacent rocky cliffs, this campground is one of my favorites in Japan. There's also a nature center. You can pitch a tent here for about 2,000 yen or rent a bungalow during the season (083-786-0477). Tsunoshima is most peaceful between sunset and early morning when the daytime crowds are gone and the sound of the waves prevails.

The plants around that beach almost make it look like some of the beaches here in South Africa!
