Kanegahama
Edit SpotAbout
Very kind people, the locals are really friendly, you can camp in the beach...typhoon time, big powerfull waves!!!!
A cooler vibe with a generally higher standard of surfer is the rule of the day at Kanegehama. There's a convenience store just opposite the beach so you can easily make a day of it there. Also there is a good and cheap restaurant that overlooks the beach. Great food! You can even stay there pretty cheaply in a tatami dorm. There is also a small surf shop ('On the Beach')that is typically expensive, but very friendly. Can get a lot of logs and other detritus just after a typhoon which can make things a bit interesting.
