After my tour at Sakamoto Ryoma museum, I went to Katsurahama beach to enjoy the rest of the day.
It's really a beautiful place!
There's a long promenade that will take you to a small shrine closed to the ocean. There's also an aquarium if you come with kids.

It is a must for visitors to Kochi. The beach, although it is not allowed to swim here, is marvelous! Can you imagine that Ryoma (a hero of Kochi and a great contributor for the Meiji Restoration) once stood here!

I've been there a couple of times over the years, in summer and winter.
The walk through the pines looking at the opposite side of the beach with the view on the little shrine up on a little rocky cape is lovely. We can make very good pictures.
Then walk along the beach and go up to the shrine looking at the sea is awesome. From there up again to reach the museum about Ryoma Sakamoto. I know there is the aquarium and other leisure activities, but didn't go. I ate in the souvenirs/restaurant area from a window stand some barbecued squidand.
I took the bus from Kochi station for a one-day trip with possibility to stop at other points of interest. And I did so ! Very good !

I went there in Spring. The weather was nice. We ate at the beach our bento box, enjoyed a sun bath and the view. The beach and the sand are very clean.
The children enjoyed the beach and playing with the peebles.
Only one sad thing is, "no swimming allow" due to strong currents.

I grew up near the sea and always find it relaxing to be back by the sounds and smells of my childhood.
With beautifully clear water and a spotless beach, Katsurahama is lovely and even on a Sunday during a holiday weekend it wasn't too busy.
With high vantage points and areas of historic interest there's a reasonable amount to do although swimming isn't one of them - due to rip tides swimming is not allowed and loud speakers remind visitors of this.
A nice day out a short drive from the center of Kochi.
