On this less challenging second day's ride, one of my objectives was to see the Kaichu Doro Road Park, a long stretch where a road has been built on the shallows to an island and more bridges have been provided to link islands further out. The area somewhat resembles the Florida Keys and was reported to be very pleasant. It is. If you look closely, you can see one of the long bridges in the distance.
The beaches along the way also look very pleasant, and here I actually did see some people (mostly children) swimming. Better weather undoubtedly helped.
