Introduction
Enjugahama is a pine-fringed beach on the coast of Wakayama Prefecture, named for the dense seaside pine grove that looks like drifting smoke. With an open shoreline and gentle sand, it is a nearby spot for locals to swim and stroll, and a relaxed place to watch the sunset over the Kii Channel. The pines and the sea make it good for slow walks, cycling and photography; in summer there is a swimming beach, while in other seasons it is quieter and you can take in the everyday scenery of the Kishu coast.
