Located an hour by train from Osaka Namba and close to the southernmost tip of Osaka, Tokimeki Beach (Tannowa Beach) boasts a spacious stretch of white sand and clear water. It is one of the coastlines in Misaki Town that features in ancient works such as Ki no Tsurayuki's "Tosa Nikki" and "Manyoshu," and, along with the nearby Nagamatsu Coast and Sennan Satoumi, it has long been a popular scenic spot known for its white sand and green pines. Today, it is one of Osaka's leading resort beaches, bustling with visitors for clam digging from late March to early June and for swimming from July 1st to late August. The beach is equipped with several beach volleyball courts, including those for competitive play, allowing visitors to enjoy a game of beach volleyball. A shuttle bus also operates from Tannowa Station during the summer swimming season.
