Wada Beach in Fukui Prefecture

Last Sunday I went to the beach the next prefecture over. It was really hot and crowded, but still a nice place to go:




Just off the coast were some rocky islands. You could rent boats to take there, which we did, though on the second day half of us swam out there. The water was clear and the fish plentiful. There was a cliff around back where you could jump from over 10 feet up. The guys I was with caught sea urchins to eat later. I managed to cut my legs and hands here while also ruining a pair of shoes:


This was also a small port with several small fishing boats on the side opposite the beach:


The place we had dinner at gave us a small present - sea bream cut up raw with the head and tail still present:



Except for the sunburn, it was a pretty good trip.
