Suma Beach

It was a good beach to visit while in Kobe in summer. I’m giving it 3 stars though because I have been to better ones. I went there on the first week of September, so that could be a factor why I was not at all wowed by this beach. (I’m from a part of the Philippines where the beaches have white sand and the water is crystal clear, so my standards of a good beach is a little high. Lol)

PROS:

1. Easily accessible. You can easily take a train to Suma Station, which is right in front of the beach.

2. There are shops where you can buy food and drinks. For instance, there’s Grateful’s (burger shop), a conbini bu Suma Station, some vending machines, etc.

3. The water is clear. Not the clearest I’ve seen, but is clear enough.

4. You can see some small fishes.

5. The view is nice.

CONS:

1. The beach is pebbly. If you have a sensitive sole, it’s gonna be an experience for you.

2. When we went there, there was a dead fish on the beach. Not sure if it was washed ashore or because of some bird.
