Megijima Beach, often referred to as Onigashima Beach, is the crown jewel of Takamatsu's island getaways. A short ferry ride transports you to this idyllic paradise, where the sand is not just white, but a brilliant, almost luminous white, contrasting spectacularly with the deep azure of the Seto Inland Sea. The water is exceptionally clear, inviting you to wade in, swim, or simply marvel at its transparency.
“Megijima Beach is Takamatsu's most famous white-sand island beach, offering stunning clarity and an iconic 'Demon Island' mystique.”
