The 6.5-kilometer beach is a world-famous Mecca for surfing with waves as big as those at North Shore in Hawaii. A number of surfing competitions, including some international competitions for professional surfers, are held at this beach every year. The beach is also a nationally protected reserve as part of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, and one of the New 100 Views of Tokyo. Located to the south of Habushiura Beach is Shiromama Cliff, a 7-kilometer long and 250 meter high white cliff that is another highlight of the island.
