Southern Beach Chigasaki
Southern Beach is a modern beach for active youth and surfers in the city of Chigasaki. It is customary to get here by train or bicycle, the path from the station takes only 20 minutes, you can also travel by car or bus. But you can take nothing to the beach, because the rentals here are multifunctional: they offer absolutely all accessories and sports equipment. The beach sand is not as snow-white as it is customary to think of the paradise islands: it is darker, and that is why water near the shore is not so transparent.
