In Okinawa, Soba Is My Ultimate Post-Snorkeling Move | Bon Appétit
"A humble curl of concrete on Okinawa’s west side in Chatan Town, built to protect the island from typhoons but prized more for its views and local life than its architecture. Sitting on the lip facing the open sea offers unobstructed water vistas and a popular sunset perch where couples gather to watch vibrant oranges bleed into pinks, purples, and blues; it also functions as a local landmark—people arrange meetings and memories around it. The wall is a common jumping-off point for snorkeling: a short slip into the surf leads to a nearby drop-off over corals teeming with fish and other marine life, though swimmers should be mindful of hazards like black-banded sea snakes and habu kurage (box jellyfish). While the promenade has seen upgrades over the years, its role as a social and aquatic gateway endures." - ByKatherine LaGrave
A beach without the tourists. It's small and has lots of coral, so you'll need water shoes, but it's gorgeous and you can go deep into the water. No life guards, showers, toilets, etc.
There were loads of locals hitting the waves that were out past the rocks, and US planes flying overhead. When we went, there were only two other groups there, so it was quiet and relaxing.

Awesome beach. Park near by. Seawall ends at the beach.

Absolutely beautiful. Not too crowded and you can actually find a lot of cool things like shells, coral bits, and several species of crab.

Always loved this place for my sunset- watching spot! Great for strolling, walking your dogs and grabbing some smoothies from the nearest stores. A lot of nice stores by the sea sides to check out.

My favorite beach in the area. However NO lifeguard, NO bathrooms, NO nets. It's just a sandy area with stadium seating of paving stones. There's nice sand on the beach itself but be cautious that the first 5-10 feet of beach under the water is rocks/broken coral. Keep an eye out for lots of little crabs.

Absolutely beautiful spot to watch the sunset and tide come in.
