This uninhabited beach is located in the southern part of Okinawa’s main island, about 45 minutes by car from Naha Airport. With a circumference of only about 800 meters, it offers a 360-degree view of the ocean and outstanding scenery! We recommend this beach for rentals and activities. However, wear clothes you don’t mind getting wet when boarding the boat!
Point 1: How can I get to “Komaka Island Beach”?
Komaka Island Beach” is located in Chinen, Nanjo City, in the southern part of Okinawa’s main island.
It is a 3-minute drive from Chinen Cape Park, where the landing place for Komaka Island is located, to the famous Saiba Utaki. You can get a general idea of its location.
From Naha Airport, take National Route 329 and Prefectural Route 86 to Chinen Cape Park, leave your car there, and take a 3-minute boat ride to Komaka Island.
The boat is really small and cannot carry a car, so you will have to leave your car at Chinen Cape Park, but parking is free since it is a public park.
Also, there is a pier on Komaka Island, but it is a simple one, and your clothes will get wet up to your chest when you land, so please wear clothes you don’t mind getting wet.
It is kind of unusual at this point, so it is very exciting.
