If you go to Iriomotejima, we want to lose you, we have 5 beautiful nature beaches and 5 beaches

Iriomote Island is the second largest island in Okinawa. A valuable Iriomote cat is living, and the subtropical jungle is a rich natural place occupying 90% of the island.

You can enjoy Iriomotejima with a variety of activities on the theme of nature such as tours and trekking around mangrove, but basically it is "sea" basically.

So I would like to introduce which beach is recommended this time, whether there are facilities such as toilet and shower when swimming in the sea, beach with well-beings and so on.

The charm of the island is "the sea of a tropical country" after all. Please read and experience the beautiful beaches and the beaches in the subtropical region!

1. Beach of Minami Fumida (Hayemi)

The beach of Minami Fumida (Hayemi) is the longest beach in Iriomote Island spreading at the southern tip of the island. Because the sandy beach is white and shallow, it is suitable for beach coming such as beach playing and seashell picking. The blue sea boasts transparency in the clear blue sky, makes me feel no extra luxury!

There is no road etc. to the west side from this beach, the jungle peculiar to Iriomote Island which is said to be "Oriental Galapagos" spreads, you can enjoy a completely different scenery from the sea at the same time.

The scenery with the gap seems to be a regrettable place to go home, want to see forever forever. However, since there is no shade, let's take all measures against heat stroke and sunburn.

2. The beach of Hoshizuna

I went to another beach, but after all I came back here. A star of sand with many opinions. Its charm is transparency and a shallow place. Like Taketomijima, the sandy beach where "sand of the stars" flows is mixed with rocky places, so if you look under the undulating rocky place or gaps, you will be able to meet fish group students.

Even in the shallow water, colorfully colored fish swim with a casual eyes, so it is also a great spot to chase and take underwater photographs.

Oki people have a quick flow and few fish, so it is recommended to play right in front of big rocky areas. The waves are almost never coming and it is shallow, so young children can play with confidence! Look for star sand and swim, let 's enjoy the Okinawa - like beach.

3. Tsukigahama (Tsukiga Hama)

Tsukigahama is a beach that spreads along the mouth of the Urauchi River. The beautiful view on the coast is a perfect viewpoint that you can watch the sunset as it sets in the evening.

Formally it is the beach of Tudumari. The fine sand is famous as sand which is squeaky which sounds as a rock sand is crushed and it reaches the coast with the rock sand which is the ground of Iriomote crushed and impurities are few, so it steps.

Tsukigahama, which is said to be the sacred place of the island of God, has been cherished as a special place to shape as a beautiful crescent moon. It is also a place where ocean turtle comes to lay eggs. Because the waves are calm and there are plenty of fish, it is recommended for snorkelling etc!

Also, in front of Tsukigahama, it is also recommended to use it together because Hoshino Resort developed by Hoshinoreso developed by all over the country develops "Risonare (Old Nilakanai)". In the night the blackout curtain is closed and the neighborhood is darkened so it is a beach where you can enjoy the starry sky that colors the night sky.

It is a beach beach that can only go from Iriomote Island, but can not go on the road. It will take about 10 minutes by boat from Shirahama Port and about 10 minutes on foot from the ship port. It is said that it is the most beautiful in Iriomotejima, the sea without dirt is like a pool. Pitato When the wind stops, the beautiful scenery that jumps in will jump into your eyes.

You can enjoy the natural aquarium where you can appreciate the swiss swimming style that you feel sweet, even if you step in step by step and you can not see the energetic coral and tropical fish dive.
As Ida's beach is not touristic, there are no shops, but there are places where you can buy goods for renting or playing in the ocean in Funfura, so I think that it is good to go after purchasing it on the way to the beach . It is worth going to the island from the island as a hideout beach!

There are countless islands floating in the Indian Ocean, a small island made up of plenty of coral flakers whitened like morus. How about a snack baring in a luxurious place called 360 ° sea?

In addition, there is "Ruri no island · Hagumajima" 2 km further from Bali island, you can swim in the island's beach as much as possible. Hatogajima has also become the stage of the drama "Ruri no island", but it was a relaxing place not being sightseeing. The breathtaking beach is a beautiful island.

★ For advanced users. Fold coral! Nakano beach that you can appreciate on snorkeling

Departing from Uehara Harbor, there is a must-see beach on the way to the star sandy beach. Nakano beach spreading beyond anti-sand forest is "wide" anyhow.

There is no toilet or shops, but the exactly natural beach with no added hands is a beautiful snorkel fun if you can not stop laughing! The coral spreading from the sandy beach and colorfully colored fish welcome you. However, there is a considerable distance to the leaf edge after entering the beach, so be sure to swim in pairs. The feeling of swimming across the edge of the dropout at snorkeling is the best!

Let's be careful not to tread coral when low tide

Afterword

Iriomote Island, where a beautiful landscape can be preserved, because many unspoiled areas remain. It might be easier if you have a sea house, changing rooms, hot water showers, meal facilities and so on. However, if there are a beautiful beach and surprisingly clear ocean, corals and fish like it, you should not feel inconvenience.

However, attention beyond usual is necessary also only on natural beach where there is no observer etc. In order to leave pleasant memories, please do not push yourself and please fully enjoy yourself while consulting with your physical condition!
