Imagine a beach where the sky is always blue, it's never too hot or cold, the water isn't filled with salt and pollution, and the surf is always perfect - welcome to
Ocean Dome, the world's largest and only indoor beach. Ocean Dome has its own flame-spitting volcano, crushed white marble sand", and it also boasts the world's largest retractable roof, providing a permanently blue sky.

Atmosphere temperature (kept at 30 C degrees), water (kept at 28 C degrees) wind and humidity are closely controlled to provide an ultra-safe "sea-side" experience. Every hour, the volcano erupts and the hi-tech wave machines start up, starting a few minutes of sanitized surfing. Entrance cost is US$50 per person, which seems especially expensive given that there is a free, natural beach only 300 meters away.

The Ocean Dome is part of the
Phoenix Segaia Resort located at
Miyazaki on the island of
Kyushu.
