Murote Coast in Ainan Town is a beautiful white sand beach with a photogenic, tropical resort atmosphere, expanding along a calm inlet woven by its beautiful rias coastline. The coral blue Uwa Sea with outstanding transparency combines with rows of elegant phoenix palm trees lining the coast, creating a landscape as if wandering into an overseas southern island resort. Because waves are extremely gentle, it serves as an optimal field not only for family swimming but also for sea kayaking and SUP (Stand-Up Paddleboarding) which have seen rising popularity in recent years, loved by domestic and international nature-loving travelers. Feeling the pleasant sea breeze, it is a hidden famous spot where you can leisurely enjoy the luxurious island times of Seto or the Uwa Sea.
