This official Ministry of the Environment image shows the sand and sea at Yumigahama Beach in Minamiizu. It is useful for previewing coastal visibility and the sky, but a single image cannot establish wave or swimming safety.

Yumigahama Beach in Minamiizu (南伊豆・弓ヶ浜) is a sandy beach on the southern Izu coast in Shizuoka. This camera shows the beach and the sea in official still photos from Japan's Ministry of the Environment. Use it to see the sky and the coastline before you go, but do not use it to judge waves or whether it is safe to swim.
Before you head to the beach
Look at the latest image on the day you plan to visit. Check the sky and the shoreline together. They show how much cloud or fog is hiding the view. The image changes about once an hour, so compare its capture time with the current time in Japan (JST).
How to read this view

Questions about this camera
Can I tell from this camera if it is safe to swim at Yumigahama?
No. One calm-looking photo does not mean swimming is safe. Waves, rip currents and beach opening are decided on site. Follow the flags on the beach and the official notices from Minamiizu.
Is this a live video of Yumigahama Beach?
No. It is a still image that updates about once an hour. The view between updates does not change, so check the capture time to see how recent it is.
Fees, hours and access for nearby places come from the official sources recorded in our attraction guides; confirm them on each venue’s official page before you go. Edited 2026-10-31.

A camera pin is not always a place to visit
The pin marks the camera facility or a documented reference point. Some cameras are on hotel roofs or broadcast buildings that visitors cannot enter. Check the entrance to the place you actually plan to visit.
The closest station by coordinates is Izukyushimoda Station, 6.7 km from the camera reference point in a straight line. This is not a verified walking route or recommended access station. Check the visitor destination and its official access information.
The map also shows rail lines serving Izukyushimoda Station. The distance above is a straight line, not a walking time. Check the actual entrance and route below.
The closest station in a straight line may not be the easiest way in. The route also ends at the camera reference point, so change it to the place you actually plan to visit. Check buses, journey time and first or last trains in the route results.
