PALM BEACH

Traveler highlights

PALM BEACH in Itoshima is a coastal complex with views of blue water and shoreline facilities. A wall mural of “angel wings” has become a popular photo landmark. In afternoon light, the mural and coast can be framed together; nearby are the Meoto Iwa rocks of Futamigaura, where around the summer solstice the setting sun can be seen between the two rocks. The area works well for a seaside walk, photos and sunset viewing in one outing. Allow travel time from central Fukuoka, and check the weather beforehand, as clear skies bring out the open coastal scenery.
