The sword on the beach
Enter the cave on the beach south of the shrine. Inside, use the Ark of Light (the second one you obtain) to open the door. Exit to the northern beach. Use the Ark of Power (the first one) to reveal the secret entrance in the sword.

This is the monster arena. Turn monsters into figurines, then pit them against other monsters to earn Platinum Coins. Then, learn which monsters are stronger and bet on other monsters to earn Platinum faster. After that, you can exchange your figurines for various items. See the Enemies page for details on the monsters.

The small hole
Walk around the Shrine to the small building north-west of it. Instead of going inside the building, walk to the right to the very end of an inlet. Look south and examine its end, then use the Ark of Wood to activate the secret entrance.

In this area you can exchange Platinum for Gold Coins directly, with no need to bet on monster fights.

If you change all your Gold for Platinum, remember that there is a man in the Tree and Rope secret entrance that gives you Gold Coins if you have none.
