Nami no Ue Beach, an urban man-made beach located in Naha City, is popular as an urban beach because of its convenience: 15 minutes by car from Naha Airport and a 15-minute walk from Kokusai-dori Avenue.
This beach is the only bathing beach in Naha City and is often used by travelers as a “last stop” before leaving Okinawa, and by local residents as a place to relax.
Admission is free, and barbecues are available. In addition to restaurants and restrooms, lockers, changing rooms, and showers are available, allowing visitors to casually go for a swim and return to town quickly.
The beach is divided into the west (Wakasa side) and east (Tsuji side) sides by a sheer cliff and the Hagamiya shrine that sits on top of it, with the Wakasa side beach adjacent to Wakasa Seaside Park. The Tsuji side is lined with fast food restaurants and other eateries.
This area has been developed as “Naha Beach Resort” where marine sports are available, including diving and snorkeling beaches.
Nami no Ue Beach, the only beach in Naha City, is an urban beach overlooking Route 58 where you can take a quick swim before your flight.
