Exploring Seikura Beach

No wonder, tourists may find an old building in that area. The accessibility is nice, but the road has a bad condition. The next noticeable thing is none other than villagers’ houses. However, local people have left this settlement for years. This explains why those houses are abandoned and damaged. Despite the fact, they become a great object for photography.
There is no entrance fee, so tourists can get in and explore Seikura Beach freely. As for tourist activities, the most famous one is indeed beach walking. Visitors take advantage of the soft-textured sandy landscape for an exploration regardless of the time of the visit. The white color of the shoreline looks more astonishing at noon, though, due to the reflection of the sun on the sand. The sea looks more beautiful as well at the time.
When it comes to the best nuance, tourists should visit Seikura Beach in the afternoon. The ambiance becomes soother at the time. Not to mention visitors are able to watch a romantic sunset from the shoreline. The silhouette of traditional boats is seen on the horizon, too.
