Beautiful Beaches and Coasts

Okinawa's coastline features a diverse range of shores, from the star-shaped sands of Iriomote and Taketomi to the vibrant coral reefs of the Kerama Islands.

Urban spots like Naminoue in Naha provide convenience, while remote gems like Ida-no-hama require boat access. These shores are characterized by high water clarity and unique geological formations like the natural rock arch at Sunayama Beach.
