 A lot of water accidents have occurred at sea bathing areas in Japan, and the honorable life of 100 people or more has been lost every summer season. To reduce these water accidents , We develop the method of multilateral bathing area risk assessment for bathing area. The purpose of this study is to apply this risk assessment to Wakasawada beach. As a result, Wakasawada beach is satisfying 80% of natural Hazards & Risks and 94% of Beach management & Patrol system of safety evaluation items. By using this method, this beach was evaluated as high safety beach, but we point out some risk items. Against these risks, we propose risk mitigation measures.
