This beach is located in Kadena Town, which is very conveniently accessible, about 45 minutes by car from Naha Airport. The beach is shallow, so beginners in snorkeling and diving can enjoy various activities such as observing fish because there are tropical fish even in shallow water, or taking a walk because the sunset is beautiful.
Point 1: What is the location where “Mizukama Beach” is located?
Mizukama Beach” is located in Kadena Town, about 45 minutes by car from Naha Airport. It is located on the border of Yomitan Village, so it may be considered a quiet area.
The first thing that comes to mind when one hears the name “Kadena Town” is the “U.S. military base,” but just across the fence from this “Mizukama Beach” is a recreational facility for the U.S. military called “Torii Beach,” which is usually closed to the public.
It is a bit strange that the other side of the fence is in the U.S., even though they are on the same stretch of beach.
Point 2: What activities can I do at “Mizukama Beach”?
Mizukama Beach” is not a formal beach and does not have a long sandy beach.
There is only concrete covering the seawall and countless buoys.
For divers and snorkelers, it may be easier to enter the ocean that way rather than walking along the hot, scorched beach.
There are some stairway-like sections on this beach, so it is a good idea to enter the ocean from there.
In addition, the shallow waters are especially good for beginners in snorkeling and diving.
If you suddenly go into deep water, you will be too scared to practice.
The sunset is beautiful here, so canoeing and kayaking at sunset is also a good idea.
Also, even in relatively shallow water, there are colorful tropical fish, so it is recommended for those with small children. However, there is no sandy beach, only concrete steps, and a seawall, so please make sure you find a safe place to observe the fish before you go there.
Point 3: What are the recommended sightseeing spots and food near “Mizukama Beach”?

Mizugama Beach is located in Kadena Town near Yomitan Village, and there are many sightseeing spots and recommended restaurants nearby.
The Yachimun-no-sato (village of Yachimun) and the Experience Kingdom Murasakimura (both 16 minutes by car) are among the tourist attractions.
There are many places to buy Yachimun such as Naha Airport, Washita Shop, and Yachimun Street in Naha City, but Yachimun-no-Sato is the best place to find a wide variety of Yachimun.
Just by acquiring your favorite yachtsman and using them in your daily life, you will enjoy your daily meals!
For gourmet food, we recommend “MORNING WORKS” located 4 minutes away by car.
It is a Hawaiian-style cafe that opens at 6:30 a.m. and serves delicious pancakes and acai bowls.
Because of its location, there are many foreign customers, so you can enjoy an exotic atmosphere just by going there.
The portions are large, so it might be a good idea to share different menu items!
