Camping
Campgrounds are located at Sobama Beach, about a 15-minute bus ride from Ogi. Round-trip buses leave from the EC Information Centre for Sobama Beach every hour. The campgrounds are right on, or very near the beach, so this is a great place to swim, barbeque and enjoy the summertime on Sado. Please check in with the campground office before your pitch your tent.
