Things to do
Chatan Park Sunset Beach
Your travel notes
Finish a Mihama outing by the sea. Beside American Village, Chatan Park Sunset Beach combines easily with shopping, a café stop or dinner.
What to look out for
- A sandy shore beside the Mihama district
- West-facing views for watching the evening sky
- Different coastal colours from daytime to dusk
Enjoy the wait for sunset
Look beyond the horizon to the changing colours of clouds and sand. Even on a cloudy day, a pause beside the water can be part of the experience. Check sunset time alongside your dinner plans and return journey.
Swimming and sunset are separate plans
The published 2026 swimming season runs from April 10 to November 30. November swimming hours are 9:00–17:00; sunset viewing does not mean swimming remains permitted. Conditions and on-site instructions determine whether entry to the water is allowed that day.
