Suruga Bay

Suruga Bay opens south to the Pacific between the Izu Peninsula and Cape Omaezaki, beneath the slopes of Mount Fuji. The deep Suruga Trough runs through its seabed, which descends steeply from the shore to depths of more than two thousand metres. At the head of the bay, the Fuji River carries sediment to a coast shaped by strong waves, forming beaches of sand and rounded stones.
