The beach area is renowned for 'Kagami-no-Umi,' a natural phenomenon where a wide, mirror-like reflection occurs on the tidal flats at low tide.
The park is situated along a stretch of coastline frequently used for regional windsurfing competitions.
The site was specifically developed by Fukutsu City to enhance public access to the Genkai Sea coastline.
The park serves as a primary gathering point for local seasonal beach festivals and water sports events.
Fukuma Seaside Park is a coastal recreational area located in Fukutsu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, directly adjacent to the popular Fukuma Beach. The park serves as a hub for marine sports, including windsurfing and stand-up paddleboarding, due to the consistent coastal winds and shallow waters. It features a broad, paved promenade that facilitates walking and cycling along the coastline. The area is intentionally designed to integrate urban park facilities with the natural sandy beach environment. It serves as a focal point for the 'Kagami-no-Umi' (Sea of Mirrors) phenomenon, where the wet sand reflects the sky during low tide. The park infrastructure includes public restrooms, rinse stations for beachgoers, and designated areas for casual leisure activities. Local environmental maintenance keeps the beach sand and greenery groomed throughout the year.
