Because “Tonnaha Beach” is located on a remote island, there are not many places of interest or restaurants unless you go to Uruma City or Okinawa City on the main island side, or to Kitanakagusuku Village further south.
Speaking of sightseeing in the area, there are Minami Gusuku and Sinugudo ruins. Just before crossing the bridge, on the peninsula leading to the main island, are the ruins of Katsuren Castle.
There is no convenience store on Miyagi Island, where Tonnaha Beach is located, but on the neighboring Ike Island, there is a unique Okinawan store called “Kyodo kiosk” that you may want to visit.
For gourmet food, there is also a vegetarian restaurant on the neighboring island of Ike Island called “Ano-do of Old House Cafe Life Medicine,” as well as the reasonably priced “Old House Restaurant Agoriba Shokudo” on Miyagi Island.
