Hanoba Bay

Hanoba Bay [坤波港; はのばもん] is a bay situated in southern Shinkō Prefecture. It is secluded and cut off from nearby Shindai Bay by a small thin peninsula known as Hanoba Sands. Until the 1800s Hanoba Bay was primarily used as a fishing port shared by the settlements of Kōzo, Bundo and Meikai. However, for over 200 years the bay has remained largely untouched by industry, and now exists primarily as a place of leisure and recreation.
Sailing, watergliding, and surfing are popular activities in Hanoba Bay, particularly surfing due to the naturally large and powerful waves which the tide generates. Speedboat trips are also available by booking.
