Izu Peninsula Geopark

Shirahama Beach

Why is the sand so white?

The white sand that gave Shirahama Beach its name is composed of volcanic ash, pumice, and shell fragments ejected by submarine volcano eruptions roughly 2 to 10 million years ago. These deposits surfaced around one million years ago when the Izu Peninsula collided with the Honshu, the Japanese mainland.
