What other travelers are saying about Nagata Inakahama
Una playa muy tranquila, lo que la hace más bonita. Muy limpia. Además hay baños y una pequeña fuente para limpiarse los pies. Algunas zonas son de acceso restringido porque es donde las tortugas ponen sus huevos. Nosotros tuvimos 'a suerte de encontrar una empleada que se encargaba de revisar los huevos y nos enseño algunas tortuguitas bebés que acababan de salir de los huevos
Me dió un poco de pena ver como la playa estaba toda llena de plásticos. Al final el mar devuelve todo lo que le tiran, es una prueba de que debemos cuidar más el planeta y esta playa vienen a desovar las tortugas desde América
La playa es amplia y tranquila. Hay baños.
A pesar de ser un lugar popular, el estacionamiento solo tiene espacio para unos cinco autos.
Puede estar cerrado los fines de semana.
La playa es hermosa y se puede disfrutar de una vista espectacular de la isla Okinoerabu.
Este es un lugar famoso donde las tortugas marinas vienen a desovar entre mayo y julio, y al parecer, aquí llega la mayor cantidad de tortugas a la costa de Japón.
También se pueden ver tortuguitas naciendo en septiembre. Me pregunto si podremos verlas a todas dirigirse al mar al mismo tiempo. ¡Debe ser tan tierno!
Preguntas frecuentes
The turtle-watching season runs from mid-May until mid-July, with peak nesting occurring from June to mid-July. Baby turtles hatching and making their way to the sea can be witnessed between late July and early September. During peak season, more than 20 loggerhead turtles with a total length of one meter or more may visit the beach in a single night to lay their eggs.
No. Beach access is prohibited between 20:00 and 5:00 the following morning from May 1 to September 30 in accordance with the Nagata Beach Sea Turtle Observation Rules. You cannot enter the beach at night between May 1 and August 31 without joining an official tour, and attempting to do so may result in a heavy fine. This strict regulation protects the sensitive turtles during their nesting cycle.
There is a strict ban on any lights, mobile phone use, photography, or filming during the tour, as turtles are extremely sensitive to light. Visitors must follow the guidance of trained NPO guides who patrol the beach and only call participants onto the sand once a turtle has begun laying eggs. Kagoshima Prefecture ordinances prohibit taking sea turtles or turtle eggs, and picking up baby turtles is considered illegal capture.
Reservations must be made through the Nagata Sea Turtles Association, with bookings accepted from April 1 through July 31. Contact them via their website at nagata-umigame.com or by phone at 0997-45-2280 between 13:00 and 17:00. Tours are limited to a specific number of participants each night as a conservation measure, so advance booking is essential during nesting season.
While Nagata Inakahama is a beautiful beach year-round with scenic views, it is generally not recommended for swimming due to strong waves and currents. The beach is primarily valued as a conservation site and sunset viewing location rather than a swimming destination. Visitors looking to swim with sea turtles should consider nearby Isso Beach instead, which has lifeguards and facilities during summer months.
