Ohama beach
Rocks are stretched along the coastline, and the beach is covered in grainy white sand. Local coral reefs protect the beach from the dangerous currents and also make for a great attraction for underwater swimmers.

Beach description
Ohama Beach is located a bit far from the city so getting here is a bit more complicated, you need to take a bus (the road takes 20 minutes) and then walk from the bus stop to the beach (also takes 20 minutes).
But it's worth it, as a natural aquarium with turtles is situated right near the beach. Children and adults alike can swim with these amazing creatures or just feed them cabbage. Conveniences include: a parking lot, showers and areas for events and activities. The best time to come here is in May or during Summer, when you can both swim and sunbathe and also use all of the available water attractions.
When is the best time to go?
If in the north of Japan, in Hokkaido, the weather in January-February is quite wintery, in the southern islands the temperature rarely drops below 20 degrees even in the cold season. In summer, the rainy season comes in Japan, when the humidity becomes almost one hundred percent, and the thermometer is at 30 to 40 degrees. Therefore, the best time to travel to Japan – is late spring or early autumn.
