It becomes a perfect background for photography, for sure. Here is the next good news. The beach is located near to a local settlement, so tourists can easily find a homestay and buy foods during the visit. As mentioned before, a sacred cemetery is located near to the area.

Exploring Cinoki Beach
When it comes to popularity, Cinoki Beach is known for its soothing sunset. This explains why many people often come to the location in order to hunt the best silhouettes of the sunset in the dusk. The best background to take the sunset is indeed the sole coral, located on the tip of the shoreline. However, it takes the perfect time and moment to get the best results. Not to mention everyone should be careful when getting near to the coral due to the slippery surface of the rocky landscape.

The next unique activity that tourists can do in Cinoki Beach is to enjoy fishing, especially to catch small cute squids. In this case, tourists should carry the fishing equipment and other required items to catch both fishes and squids easily. If necessary, they should ask for some tips from villagers regarding the best spot and time for fishing.
