Aki no Hama
★★★★☆
(232)
This is the largest and closest of the seven Izu Islands to the mainland. Mihara, an active volcano, is located in the center of the island. Boat diving is also available, but due to the variety of beach points, diving from the beach is more popular. The most popular of these is Autumn Beach.
The aquatic life is very abundant and there is a lot of valuable macro life. Symbiotic gobies in sandy areas and nudibranchs in rocky areas. In addition, it is relatively common to see white tip sharks in the summer.
