Aoshima Beach

Miyazaki City, Japan

👥Crowded

Aoshima is a jewel of Miyazaki surf culture, a long stretch of beach opposite the tiny Aoshima island with its famous shrine. The wave is forgiving and consistent, making it perfect for beginners and surf schools, while the amenities—free parking, nearby cafes, rental shops—make it accessible. July typically delivers the cleanest waves, with summer typhoon swells providing the most consistent surf. Walking distance to Aoshima Shrine makes this a cultural experience as much as a surf destination.
