It is important to remember that the sun is scorching here, gently setting over the edge of the sea. If you don't take sunscreen to the beach from the first day, you can get very sunburned.

The sun here is extremely hot, cannot be compared with either Crimea or Sochi. The first days it is better to hide from him in the shade of cafe awnings or under spreading palm trees. Sunset in the High Season on the island starts around 18:00 and can be very spectacular.

Long Beach (Long Beach) is located along the western coast of Fukuoka and is the most visited. Most tourists come on weekends and holidays. But even then, tourists may not be seen in the vast territory, because... The length of the beach is more than 15 km.

Long Beach has beige sand with large patches of fine white sand. Beach fleas live here; they are not dangerous for vacationers, but they are annoying. Hotel staff treat beach sand with special preparations.

You can rent a sun lounger on site for 100 Vietnamese dong for the whole day. If you are staying in a hotel located on the beach, you should not pay for beach equipment. The prices are reasonable, but compared to Cambodia it is a bit expensive.

A few years ago it was perfect, but now you can see the consequences of its popularity - some areas are covered with garbage.
