The beach is located in a lagoon, which is rare in Okinawa
Emerald Beach is a beach with beautiful coral sands located in Motobu-cho, Kunigami-gun, Okinawa Prefecture.
The beach is located in Ocean Expo Park, where Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, one of the best tourist spots in Okinawa, is located. Because of its convenient location, only a 7-minute walk from the aquarium, many tourists visit the beach to enjoy swimming.
After being healed by sea creatures at the aquarium, it is a good idea to enjoy sea bathing to the fullest. However, please note that you may have to walk from the parking lot of the aquarium, depending on where you park.
Point 1: There is a beach in the lagoon.
Emerald Beach is located in a lagoon (shallow water separated from the open sea by sandbars and coral reefs), which is rare in Okinawa, so it is not easily affected by waves and is very calm.
The beach is located at the northern end of Ocean Expo Park in the shape of a Y-junction and is divided into three types of beaches: “beach for fun,” “beach for relaxation,” and “beach for a view,” so it is recommended to change the location according to your purpose or use.
Point 2: Superlative water quality
The water quality of Emerald Beach is recognized as AA rank, which is considered the best.
In addition, it is so beautiful that it has been selected as one of the 88 best bathing beaches and one of the 100 best pleasure beaches. During the bathing season, there are lifeguards on duty and jellyfish nets have been installed, so you can enjoy swimming safely.
The beautiful water quality and safety of the beach make it a safe place for families with small children to enjoy leisure activities in the ocean.
Point 3: There are also beach houses, so you don’t need to bring anything.
Beach houses appear on the beach during the swimming season.
In addition to parasols and chairs for rent, yakisoba, ice cream, and drinks are available for purchase, so there is no need to go out of your way to change clothes and go shopping while swimming.
Swimsuits and sandals are also available for purchase, so you can enjoy the beach completely empty-handed.
