It takes about 1 hour and 32 minutes by car from Naha Airport. The beach is located at the foot of the bridge crossing over to Sesoko Island in the northern part of Okinawa’s main island. It is located in a famous tourist spot, but the transparency of the water is excellent! There are many tropical fish, and even beginners can snorkel safely.
Point 1: At the foot of the bridge on Sesoko Island? What is the location where “Anti Beach” is located?
Anti-Beach” is a beach located at the foot of the bridge that connects to Sesoko Island, which is located at the tip of Motobu Peninsula in the northern part of Okinawa’s main island.
It takes about one and a half hours to get there from Naha Airport via Okinawa Expressway and Route 58.
Sesoko Island is a famous sightseeing spot and is always full of tourists, but the beach is located at the foot of the 768-meter-long Sesoko Ohashi Bridge that crosses to Sesoko Island.
Can you swim there? The beach is very popular because of its excellent transparency.
Paid parking is available for 500 yen, but it fills up quickly because of the location. There is also a free parking lot a short distance away.
However, this is not an official beach and there are no habu jellyfish nets or lifeguards, so swimming and snorkeling are at your own risk.
Point 2: Fish, rentals, and transparency are half the battle! What kind of beach is “Anti-Beach”?
The “anti-fish beach” is divided into those who say there are no fish at all and those who say there were many different kinds of fish, including spiny dogfish, butterfly fish, clownfish, and rock pufferfish.
In most cases, the fish are generally found in tide pools at low tide, although it may be a matter of the time of day or the ebb and flow of the tide.
There are “beach houses” nearby, and it seems that marine goods are available for rent.
Although the beach is in a tourist area, the ocean is emerald green and crystal clear. The color of the ocean is shocking, almost like a swimming pool! No wonder it is so popular.
The sand is smooth and very clean.
Even if you don’t do marine activities, just looking at the scenery will soothe your soul.
Point 3: What are the sights and eateries around “Antihama”?
Anti-Beach” is located at the entrance of Sesoko Island in the northern part of Okinawa’s main island.
If you have come this far, you cannot miss “Churaumi Aquarium,” which is only a 17-minute drive away.
The “Nakijin Castle Ruins,” where you can see the unique stone piling technique of the Ryukyu Dynasty at that time, is also a must-see.
You can also visit places that you may have overlooked because they are in the northern part of the country.
As for gourmet food, we recommend the wide variety of Okinawan set menus at “KOMINKA DINNER YUKURU” and fresh fruit smoothies at “Ryuka”.
