The Official Profile
is located in the Pacific Ocean park, and on the east side of the beach is a pine forest called Matsubara. And on the beach of Sanji Matsubara, sea turtles visit eggs. During the beach season, "Hatsu Beach Festa" will be held, beaches ball games, surfing school and fishing games. Between the city of Fukuoka and the city of Kitakyushu City, this is the quiet sea bath area with the family. The beaches designated for the Pacific National Park have bow-like beaches and red turtles eggs. There are a lot of accommodations nearby, and salt baths are served by people who come to stay and eat. In the past, I used to be busy with sea bathers, but since the area around Hatsu Beach is a suitable beach for surfing, there have been many surfers from outside the province in recent years, regardless of season. The regular cleaning activity of the local volunteer organizations and the saltwater bath union, as well as the "Lover Screenup" of June, and the "Love Screenup" of many local citizens, are doing a common cleaning and maintaining the environment.
