Ikumi Beach
Toyo, Japan
🌀Strong rips
Ikumi sits at the heart of Shikoku's surf coast, straddling the border between Tokushima and Kochi prefectures. This is where many of Japan's professional surfing contests are held, with quality beachbreak peaks that respond well to typhoon swells. The area represents the most popular surf zone in Shikoku, with consistent waves and a developed surf infrastructure. The southeast-facing exposure captures the full force of Pacific typhoon energy.
