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 only indoor beach. Amazing photos.
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. Temperature, 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 sanitised surfing.
Ocean Dome is known as the world’s largest indoor water park (300m-100m-38m),
with a retractable roof. The air temperature is always kept around 30°C
and the water temperature is kept at around 28°C.
The name Seagaia is a combination of the words “sea” and “gaia”,
which is Greek for “earth”. It’s located near the Pacific Ocean on Kyushu Island.
Entrance costs US$50, which seems especially expensive given that there is a free, natural beach only 300 metres away.
