2012/05/27 Let's go to the beach!! Shirahama Beach in Shimoda
I went to the nearest beach "Shirahama" to swim with my son this afternoon.
It was sunny and very hot like summer here in Shimoda today.
After we arrived at the beach we jumped into the water soon.
The water is definitely getting warmer day by day.
I've been wondering this season the water temperature is higher than usual.
