Message from Matt Guy

Kisaki Hama (木崎浜) is one of Miyazaki’s premier surf spots, attracting surfers from around the world with its consistent waves, sandy beach, and laid-back atmosphere. Located just 15 minutes from Miyazaki City, it’s a go-to destination for both beginners and seasoned surfers.

Why Kisaki Hama?

  • Reliable Waves
    Thanks to its open exposure to Pacific swells, Kisaki Hama offers consistent waves year-round. It's especially popular during typhoon season (August to October), when the surf reaches its peak.

  • Events and Community
    Kisaki Hama frequently hosts international and local surf competitions, adding a vibrant energy to the area. Even when there’s no event, the surf-friendly community is welcoming and laid-back.

  • Spacious Beach
    The wide sandy beach makes it easy to find a spot to relax, even if you’re not surfing.

Things to Know

  • Wave Conditions:

    • Beginner-Friendly: Gentle waves on smaller days.

    • Advanced Surf: Bigger swells during typhoon season.

  • Facilities:

    • Free parking and showers are available near the beach.

    • Local surf shops offer board rentals, lessons, and gear.

  • Getting There:
    Kisaki Hama is about 10 km south of Miyazaki City. A car is the most convenient way to get there, but public buses also run from the city center.

Tips for a Great Day

  • Timing: Early mornings offer clean waves and fewer crowds.

  • Gear: Bring a wetsuit during winter months (November–March), as the water can get chilly.

  • After Surfing: Stop by a local cafe or food stall to enjoy fresh seafood or Miyazaki’s famous mango desserts.

Kisaki Hama is more than just a surf spot—it’s a quintessential Miyazaki experience. Whether you’re catching waves or just soaking up the coastal vibes, it’s a place that embodies the relaxed charm of southern Japan.
