It's a trend: artificial beaches are gaining popularity worldwide.  The concept of "artificial" or "urban" beaches has been used for some years now in other countries like France, to refer to public establishments that try to simulate the conditions of a real beach.  Several of them have already been build and are open for you to swim and enjoy a day on the beach.  You could find them in places as diverse as Monaco, Hong Kong, Paris, Berlin, Rotterdam or Toronto.  However, none of them is as spectacular and huge as the Seagaia Ocean Dome, the world's largest water park, located in the city of Miyazaki, in Japan.  This dome measures 300 meters long and 100 meters wide, and such a construction was included in the Guinness World Records.  So far Miyazaki Dome fully succeeds when it comes to exemplify this innovative concept.

It opened its doors in 1993, built by the Mitsubishi industrial group, but it was in 1995 when the number of visitors reached the top, receiving around 1.25 million people a year.  The entrance fee was ¥ 2.600 per adult and ¥ 1600 for children; although the price would vary depending on the season.  It was built just 300 meters from a natural beach of the Pacific island Kyushu.  You might wonder why if they have a natural alternative so close.  Well, it is possible that one of the reasons is that beaches are not the best of Japan; as in many beaches in the Pacific, you always need to be aware of jellyfish, the tide and torrents, among other factors.  So, Japanese have built a Dome in which every single detail makes you feel like you are in a real beach without all the risks already mentioned.  Just take your sweet time and imagine:

An always-blue sky provided by the world's largest retractable roof

Thousands of tons of artificial sand that does not stick to your skin or clothes

Hundreds of artificial palm trees

Multiple swimming pools and slides

Constant temperature, humidity and wind.  You will feel a stable summer temperature –average 30 degrees- all day, every day of the year

No storms threatening to ruin your day or even weekend

Clean air as smokers have an established area

Clear water always at 28 degrees

Constant and perfect conditions for surfing; small but perfect waves guaranteed

All this environment is under the gaze of a "real" volcano frequently erupting fire

Food court with restaurants, ranging from fast food to establishments dedicated to traditional Japanese and international cuisine.

Many shops for souvenirs or items for the beach

The dome offers visitors, both Japanese and foreign, a safe relaxing experience, with maximum hygiene and comfort in a man-made paradise.  Isn’t it like a dream come true?  Obviously, keeping this place as neat as it has been described demands for strict measures that visitors must observe in order to enter the premises:

You must not use street shoes in the beach area

You must not bring your pets with you

You must eat in the established areas.

You must smoke in the areas specially equipped with smoke extractors.  Smoking elsewhere is highly prohibited.

Children under four years of age must always be under the supervision of an adult.

Of course, you cannot compare the artificial beach of the Dome with the so-called "artificial beaches" installed in Mexico City.  In this case, the Japanese example is the product of economic planning among a group of private funds.  While the case of Mexico is an initiative of the government carried out as a public investment with less than 2 million Mexican pesos. However, after the description of the artificial beach of the Seagaia Ocean Dome, perhaps it would be more appropriate to speak of public or upgraded swimming pools in the case of Mexico.

In December 2011, a small group of Maldivians gathered at the Artificial Beach, in silent protest against the denial of Human Rights in the Maldives.  They were physically attacked almost immediately. One of the protesters, blogger Hilath Rasheed, sustained injuries.

It is now exactly four years since that day. Hilath Rasheed suffered a near fatal attempton his life in 2012, and has moved abroad…
