Uppama Beach is a beach where you can feel the natural beauty of Okinawa.
Uppama Beach is a natural beach located in Nakijin Village, Kunigami County, northern Okinawa Prefecture.
The name of the beach, “Uppama,” means “big beach” in Okinawan dialect.
As the name suggests, Uppama Beach is about 1 km long. Swimming is usually permitted from April to September. During the swimming season, jellyfish prevention nets are put up and lifeguards are always on duty, so you can enjoy your leisure time in the sea with peace of mind.
Point 1: Great location with a view of Kouri Island
Uppama Beach is a resort hotel beach, but unlike man-made beaches that attract many tourists or natural beaches that are not maintained at all, it is a beach that makes the most of the natural beauty of Okinawa itself.
The beach is not crowded even during the swimming season, so you can enjoy leisurely ocean activities in a private atmosphere.
In front of the beach, you can see Kouri Island, a famous sightseeing spot in Okinawa, and it is very liberating.
Point 2: Marine sports can also be enjoyed.
At this beach, you can enjoy not only swimming but also marine sports such as dragon boats and marine jets.
During the swimming season, the beach house Uppama is open. Covered tables and parasols are available for rent, and are recommended for those who are worried about getting sunburned or just want to relax and enjoy the view of the ocean.
The beach house also sells snacks and drinks.
Point 3: There is an installation spot.
A large pink door suddenly appears on a white sandy beach.
It looks like a door to anywhere, and its bright pink color is eye-catching.
The contrast between the verdant sky and sea, the sandy beach, and the cute pink door is sure to be an Instagram-worthy sight.
