Slope Beach
Slope Beach: sheltered bay training site
Use the shop-side beach entry; calm water, short access, and shallow macro life make it a good beginner and training site.
About Slope Beach
Slope Beach is a sheltered beach-entry site in Oi, Fukui, just steps from the shop. The bay stays calm and easy for beginner dives and training, with a shallow sandy approach that suits relaxed scuba, freediving, and snorkeling. Macro life is the main draw, with seahorses and nudibranchs year-round and yellowtail schools in early summer. It is a low-fuss shore dive where the shallow profile and short walk-in matter more than dramatic terrain.
