...those who would rather play in the surf than frolic with its inhabitants, head over to nearby Shirahama beach. Here the vibe turns seaside honky-tonk, complete with surf shops and a groovy taco stand. Everything you need to be a beach bum for the day can be rented at Mariner Shirahama Beach Surf and Sports: $24 for a surfboard and $8 for a boogie board. Shirahama itself is an expansive, white-sand beach, and is a popular summer spot. Even in the off-season the waves are dotted with wet-suited board riders of all stripes: surfers, boogie boarders...

She has one of those rough, been-through-a-lot kind of voices, but she's careful not to overplay it. On Wheels Going By, an ode to summer driving and radio listening, and the jokey lover's plea See How I Need You, she positively purrs. When the brooding comes on Good Man, Rose nails it, singing something close to the perfect song as she asks her lover to "jump that hedgerow/ I'll jump this bedroom window/ Together...
