This was a nice place to visit, but if you are expecting to find star sand- go pound sand because it is virtually impossible to find… plus you can’t take it with you if you do find it. There is a guy who sells a small vial of star sand for ¥500. The beach does have a cute swing for Insta pics. Overall, I would bike here again just to enjoy the views.

Such a lovely beach! In addition to the star sand, this beach has the most shade I've seen in a month of my Okinawa travels. A few swings are hanging from trees so you can enjoy the views and relax. Swimming is not allowed here. Small shop had a table on the beach with a few items for sale (jewelry and bottles of star sand)

Nice beach to visit - you are not allowed to swim there, and probably wouldn't want to as it is very rocky. However, there are nice sandy shaded areas where you can lie down and chill. Looking for the little stars is also quite enjoyable.

This beach was a lot more rocky than Kondoi beach down the road. There were some cool large hermit crabs walking around and lots of rocks that looked nice under the sun. I recommend wearing swim shoes or sandals because it was difficult to walk around barefoot.

A place to dig for star sand, it's not as easy as it looks to get some! There is a small local stand that sells it too on the beach! Support local!! Low tide allows you to walk out far and can look at sea life. There are fun swings on the beach to take photos on! Free. Has a bathroom on site.

Small but nice place. Stay around 30 minutes here and difficult to find the "star" sands. Anyway, you can still buy a small bottle of sands from the shop nearby. =)

Don't forget to bring a magnifying glass with you Stars sand (Foraminifera) are so tiny and hard to find without. You can also buy a small bottle of Stars sand at the shop on the beach (300Yen) but know is more cheaper in many Souvenir Shops (100Yen) in Ishigaki Town, as Ishigakiko Rito Terminal, Ishigaki City Public Market etc... We bought just a ferry ticket (Round Trip 1330Yen) have a Bus Shuttle (Round Trip 300Yen) from Taketomi Port to Kaiji Beach
