We visited this beach off season in April, when it was around 21 degrees and too cold to swim in. Nevertheless, we had a nice walk along the beach and enjoyed a picnic there, watching the surfers and enjoying the quiet. The water is very clear and the scenery beautiful. There is also an impressive temple nearby (on the side of the torii gate) that you can visit. I didn't think that the beach was dirty - yes, there were a few bits of plastic waste in the sand, but it didn't strike me as 'a lot' of trash. Even if the beach is cleaned every day, sadly, some trash will be carried to the beach from the ocean every day due to our over-consumption and use of plastic... It's also very convenient that you can quickly reach the beach by bus from Izukyu-Shimoda station or Shimoda marina. Just opposite, there is a Family Mart and a few cafes and restaurants.
