The Goishi Coast (碁石海岸, Goishi Kaigan) is a nationally designated Place of Scenic Beauty and Natural Monument in Ōfunato, Iwate Prefecture, Japan. The name is derived from the local stones, polished by the waves, that resemble those used in Go. In 1996 the Ministry of the Environment selected the sound of the waves breaking over Kaminari iwa (雷岩) (lit. 'Thunder Rock') as one of the 100 Soundscapes of Japan. The Goishi Coast forms part of the Rikuchū Kaigan National Park and is a breeding ground for the black-tailed gull.
