能古島
A small (about 12 km around) island in the middle of Hakata Bay and offers some splendid hiking, swimming, and camping. It is easily reached by a 10-minute ferry ride from the Meinohama Port. The ferry departs every hour usually at 15 minutes past the hour from 05:15 in the morning to 23:00 at night, with service every half hour during the morning and evening rush (07:15-08:15 and 17:15-18:45).
For a view of the bay, check out the Bayside Place Hakata Pier:a marine terminal for the regular service ferries for Tsushima Island and Hakata Bay cruise boats. The terminal building has an 8-m-tall aquarium, with 6,000 fish.
Winning the Japan Series seven times between 2011 and 2020, the Hawks was undoubtedly Japan's strongest team in the 2010s.

Ticket prices vary by day, but you can get an outfield unreserved seat from ¥1,000.
A stretch of beach where visitors can enjoy a bit of swimming and sun. While the water isn't as clean as the waters further west and east in Fukuoka, you can still take a refreshing dip. There are a few lovely patio restaurants and bars which are an ideal location to watch the sun set. The area behind the Seahawk Hotel is good. It's less crowded during the summer.
