Shichiri Beach (七里海岸, Shichiri-kaigan)? is a location in Persona 4 Golden. It is a beach located a distance from Inaba that can only be reached with a scooter. The beach serves as the primary location for Quest 15: The Shichiri Beach Guardian and a cutscene involving the Investigation Team.
To unlock this location, the protagonist must "Take a Long Ride" on the scooter three times. Upon unlocking the beach, he has three activities to do there: "Fish," "Gaze out to sea," or "Swim." Gazing out to sea enables one Persona in the protagonist's collection to learn its next skill. Swimming increases his Courage, and also Understanding if it is currently raining.
Fishing[]
- Main article: Fishing
The protagonist may fish here, provided he has received the Deep-Sea Rod which can only be obtained from the old man at the Samegawa Flood Plain riverbank. To receive the rod, the protagonist has to catch the River Guardian using an Inaba Jewel Beetle, caught in the shrine at night after reciving the bug net, and show the Guardian to the old man. Quest 15: The Shichiri Beach Guardian can be unlocked after fulfilling all other ema requests given by the Fox.
It is possible to circumvent the quest altogether. After giving the old man the fishhook and receiving the normal fishing rod in exchange, ride the scooter to unlock Shichiri Beach and choose to fish in the ocean. This will prompt a dialogue box explaining that a specific rod is needed. The old man will then give the protagonist the Deep-Sea Rod if he catches the River Guardian. It is also possible to catch the River Guardian first and then ask the old man about fishing in the ocean, though this still requires unlocking Shichiri Beach.
