NISHIHAMA

Amazing blue water. Never seen anything quite like it. Crystal clear water and powder white sand just a short bike ride from the ferry port. There’s fresh water and a place to change but no shops so don’t forget to bring a drink.

It’s very blue—I thought it wouldn’t be that much, but it really is. Anyone who loves the blue sea will adore it. There are lots of little fish, and if you love turtles, you might even see them swimming around.

My favorite beach in all of the Ishigaki Island's. The sand was impeccable, the coral was vibrant, and there was barely anyone there! They had a nice bed and breakfast nearby but unfortunately we didn't know about it until our last day. We saw lots of sea turtles and cool fish while snorkeling. This is a must stop when visiting Ishigaki!

Magnifique beach with rosy sand, gentle water, and not crowded. In the morning waves were stronger and the waters cooler, while after three the waters get calm and even more enjoyable. A bit above the beach at the entrance one can get the parasols so to stay on the beach the whole day to enjoy it.

Beautiful beach at Hateruma! Come here directly when you arrive at the port. Also when u snorkel you find big fishes and turtles!

Beautiful water, painful to walk into the sea because of the coral so bring beach shoes. You can just bob around if you don’t want to snorkel, there were a few brave fish coming close to shore. Not much in the way of facilities, bring snacks!

Wonderful beach! The weather wasn’t nice when I visit but I can imagine how beautiful it is in a sunny day. You can see Iriomote island from here.

Perhaps the best beach in Japan. Long sandy beach, no waves due to coral reef. Striking blue colors like a postcard. Amazing. Must experience!
