We spent the early morning on Kujukuri, the 60-kilometer-long beach in Chiba. I looked up the "world's longest beaches" and found that the "world" has forgotten about this beach. If the following is the real list, then Kujukuri is actually the world's 9th longest. Sadly, I've only been to two: #6 and #9.
| Rank | Beach Name | Location | Approximate Length (km) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Praia do Cassino | Brazil | 212 – 254 |
| 2 | Eighty Mile Beach | Australia | 230 |
| 3 | Cox’s Bazar | Bangladesh | 120 |
| 4 | Ninety Mile Beach | Australia | 144 |
| 5 | Padre Island National Seashore | USA | 110 |
| 6 | Coorong Beach | Australia | 90 |
| 7 | Playa Novillero | Mexico | 90 |
| 8 | Ninety Mile Beach | New Zealand | 88 |
| 9 | Kujukuri | Japan | 60 |
| 10 | Virginia Beach | USA | 56 |
