MK Guide Recommends
Katsuma Beach is a peaceful coastal retreat located on the northeastern edge of Shikanoshima Island, accessible by car or ferry from Fukuoka City. Its soft sand, gentle shallows, and clear blue water make it a popular spot for locals seeking refuge from the crowds at more well-known beaches. The beach faces Hakata Bay, providing peaceful views and safe swimming—perfect for families, solo visitors, or anyone looking for a relaxing day by the sea. Surrounded by lush greenery and the relaxed vibe of island life, Katsuma Beach presents a refreshing change from the city. Facilities are limited, so it's a good idea to bring your own food and shade.
