SUP TOUR — WADA & TAKAHAMA
SUP Tour — Wada & Takahama
Wada Beach was among the first beaches in Asia to receive the international Blue Flag certification. Clear, resort-like shoreline including Torihama and Shiroyama Park.
About this course
This area centres on Wada Beach in Takahama. Unlike the sea caves of the Obama area, here you find open, shallow shoreline and clear, resort-like water. Wada Beach was among the first beaches in Asia to receive the international Blue Flag certification, in 2016 — an assessment that covers not only water quality but also efforts to protect the environment and ensure safety. Mount Aoba, known locally as "Wakasa Fuji", rises behind the bay.
