Rinku Marble Beach is a beautiful man-made beach that stretches along the coastline of Rinku Town, spanning Izumisano City, Tajiri Town, and Sennan, and is paved with white marble. In the early summer afternoons, the contrast between the blue of the sky and sea and the white of the marble is stunning, and at dinnertime, the silhouettes of airplanes paint a vivid picture against the crimson-colored sky of the setting sun, earning the beach one of the "Top 100 Sunsets in Japan."
