ABOUT

About this spot

If you visit Miyakojima in Okinawa, Yonaha Maehama Beach is an absolute must. Its beauty is praised as "the finest in the Orient," and the contrast between the emerald green sea before you and the pure white sand that stretches on forever will leave you speechless with emotion. One of its charms is that the sand is extremely fine, giving a silky feel when you walk barefoot. In front of you, you can see Kurima Island and the "Kurima Bridge" spanning to it, offering open, typically Miyakojima scenery. You can spend your time as you like: splashing in the shallows with the family, marine sports such as banana boats and jet skis with friends, or a luxurious time reading to the sound of the waves when traveling alone. The beach is also known as a magical sunset spot, with the sky turning orange at dusk, and is ideal for making memories with someone special. Experience Miyakojima's finest blue with your whole body.
