This beach is located in Yomitan Village, which is easily accessible by car from Naha Airport in about an hour. You can enjoy two different looks of white sand and rocky beach. Although the beach is maintained as it is in a national park, it is not crowded with locals, so it can be called a hole-in-the-wall beach.
