A beach which extends from the southern part of Hakui City to Imahama, Hodatsushimizu Town. An eight-kilometer-long stretch of the beech designated the Chirihama Nagisa Driveway is the only beach in Japan where regular vehicles and even buses can drive on the sand along the water's edge. Driving on the beach may be prohibited depending on the weather, so be sure to check the day of your intended visit. The beach's find sand also becomes quite hard when mixed with water, making it ideal for creating sand art. Each year from April to October, a variety of sand sculptures are created on the beach. The beach's waters are wide and shallow, and people can swim here in summer. During this time, visitors can also see beach plants like Japanese roses and seashore false bindweed.
