Omaezaki (Omaezaki-shi in Japanese) is a city in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, at the tip of the Omaezaki Peninsula on the Pacific coast. In July 2019 it had an estimated population of 32,422 in 12,095 households, a density of about 490 people per square kilometre, and a total area of 65.56 square kilometres. Most of the city is gentle hills and valleys with some steep cliffs on the east coast of the peninsula. It has a humid subtropical climate and experiences strong coastal winds between October and April, which have made windsurfing and other water sports a large part of its identity and its summer tourism.
