Hyakuninbama Beach in Erimo Town

Hyakuninbama extends about 15 kilometers along the south side of Erimo Cape. The name is said to derive from a legend that a hundred crew members from a shipwreck once lost their lives here. Windbreak forests have been planted in the desolate sand dunes, creating a unique landscape. Walking along the promenade through the forest where a memorial monument stands, one can feel the harshness of the sea and the mark of human endeavor.
