Shizunami Beach

Makinohara, Japan
🌀Strong rips

Shizunami represents Shizuoka Prefecture's growing surf infrastructure, with a new surf stadium built nearby that signals Japan's investment in wave-riding culture. The southeast-facing beach catches typhoon swells and produces quality peaks across multiple sandbars. Located between Shizuoka city and the surf towns of Hamamatsu, this is a reliable option when Chiba is too crowded or the swell angle favors the southern coast.
