Emerald Beach is located in Ocean Expo Park in the northwestern part of the main island of Okinawa, close to popular tourist spots such as Churaumi Aquarium, making it an ideal stopover.
This beautiful beach faces west and has been selected as one of the “100 Best Beaches for Pleasant Bathing”. It is built in a Y-shape into the ocean and has three areas: “Beach for Fun”, “Beach for Rest”, and “Beach for View”, each with a different view.
The ocean is emerald green and has received the highest rank of “AA” in water quality testing by the Ministry of the Environment.
The beaches are well maintained and managed, and nets have been installed to keep jellyfish away, so families can play safely.
Beach houses are also well maintained and comfortable. In addition, at “Turtle Beach” a little to the west, a sea turtle release event is held every summer.
