Create an itinerary including Yonaha Maehama Beach
Enjoy lounging on Yonaha Maehama Beach, renowned among Okinawa beaches for its vivid turquoise water and soft, powdery sand. Despite its popularity, you’ll usually be able to find a deserted spot somewhere along the silky white beach, which stretches for 7 km (4.3 mi). Enjoy the scenic ocean views and laid-back atmosphere as you sunbathe or swim in the crystal clear waters. The stunning contrast of the pearly white sand and striking blue water provides a great background for photographs. Add Yonaha Maehama Beach and other attractions to your Miyakojima trip itinerary using our Miyakojima trip itinerary planning app.

  • Shame about the bridge across the view. Excellent sand texture and color. Great for wedding photos apparently… As there were at least three couples in matrimonial garb on a clouded over Saturday...

  • Truly spectacular place! It is selected as the best beach in Japan by so many guidebooks and rankings because of its clear, blue water and fine sandy beach. The crystal-clear emerald green sea gradually becomes darker towards Kurima Island ahead. You will be impressed by the sight you have only seen in postcards. On your left, you can see the beautiful Kurimajima Bridge across the sea. Located between islands, the water around the beach is very shallow and there are almost no rips so it’s pretty safe for little kids to swim and play.
  • After touring around all the beaches on Miyakojima and nearby islands, Yonaha is the best beach for suntanning for me. It is easy to access and has free parking. There are sun beds renting services available, there is a cafe on the beach and a shower/toilet. The beach itself is very long, with amazing soft white sand. There are more shallow areas further towards tokyu hotel for the ones coming with kids. In the evening you can be lucky to view amazing sunset, if not too cloudy. The only thing I wouldn’t come here for is snorkeling: haven’t really seen any fish here.
