Located on the southwestern tip of Miyako Island, this beach is representative of Miyako Island in terms of both beauty and name recognition.
The 7-km stretch of pure white sandy beach stretching as far as the eye can see into the azure sea is said to be “the most beautiful beach in the East.
It has been ranked No. 1 many times in Japan by a word-of-mouth website, and is a regular top-ranked beach.
The view of Kushima Island on the opposite side of the beach and the Kushima Ohashi Bridge spanning the southeastern edge of the beach offshore is spectacular, and the setting sun is exceptionally beautiful.
There is a resort hotel in the center of the beach, as well as a free parking lot, stores, cafeteria, changing rooms, showers, and restrooms to the southeast. Swimming season is long, from April to the end of October.
It is the starting and finishing point of the “All Japan Triathlon Miyakojima” every April, and the opening of the Miyakojima Sea is also held here.
