    A beach equipped with sound effect and aquarium

     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     Helping her son, who is a sea creature enthusiast hunt shells, NgaamC says it was nice afternoon at Kotobikihama beach. One of the few beaches in Japan that is known for the phenomenon of "singing sand." "The sand actually makes sounds. It's really fun!" she says. "The beach is very quiet and the nature there is preserved in very good condition."
    - Anika3, CNN iReport producer

    Unlike the other gorgeous tropical resorts, this beach has no vendors, no music, no water-sports services, but has two special features; invisible sound system and 24-hour-open natural aquarium.

    When we walk on the dry sand, it makes “crying sound.” The sound gets louder if you step on it strongly.

    And the huge tide pool fields. When I visited here, it was too early to swim, so I enjoyed watching each pool full of sea creatures. The water is very clear because it is replaced every minutes by washed waves.

    This beach looks better for those who want to spend quiet time.

    It's located in northern Kyoto, Japan.
