Easy Hokkaido shore dive with caves and moon jellyfish.
Long Beach is a relaxed Hokkaido shore dive with easy beach access, a short gear walk, parking nearby, and a shallow rock-and-cave route. Expect sandy entry, no restrooms, pockets of small marine life, and regular moon jellyfish, plus a low-key outing that works best on calmer winter days and suits easy photo-focused sessions.

Safety Notes
The caves add overhead risk, so keep to the open sections unless you are trained for penetrations. Cold-water shore planning and controlled entries matter more than depth here.
Access Restrictions
Shore access only, with a short gear carry; parking is available, but there are no restrooms on site.
Legal Notes
No special permit or protected-area rule surfaced in the reviewed references; follow local beach rules and site signage.
