Futamigaura Beach Sunset Beach

Futamigaura / Sunset Beach is perhaps the best all around beach in or around Fukuoka. It has restaurants, cafes, shops, nice sand, waves, and clean water. Since Sunset Beach is away from the city the air is also nice and clean. You can pretty much swim from June to September give or take a few weeks here and there. The best surfing is usually in the winter so you will have to have a full wet suit to get the best of the wave action. On occasion there are some pretty nice sized waves in the summer so keep on the look out.


Better quality pictures are on the way, but I think you can get the basic idea.

Yes, you can surf in Fukuoka!

This is why it’s called Sunset Beach!

Great place to get some food and drink!

Up and down the road near Sunset Beach there are lots of cool and hip places to hang out and get some food & drink. You can get Japanese food, Hawaiian Food, Jamaican Food, and everything in between. It’s mostly a summer hang out but I have found myself jumping in my car and taking a drive out there to have a nice meal with friends and family in the winter as well.

One last thing I have to mention is that the traffic in and out of Futamigaura / Sunset Beach can be a pain in the summer! So you either have to go really, really early or go at about 3pm, which is when a good percentage of people leave.
