Kushibaru beach

Kushibaru Beach, a serene and somewhat hidden gem, nestles on the westernmost tip of Aka Island. Locals fondly refer to this pristine stretch as 'heavenly.' To reach Aka Island, one can embark on a ferry journey from Naha or opt for a swift speedboat ride from the shores of Zamami Island.

Beach description

Immerse yourself in the pristine beauty of the East China Sea at Kushibaru Beach. This hidden gem is a haven for tourists who, despite its remote location, flock here for the exceptional snorkeling and diving experiences. The waters are a crystal-clear invitation to explore the underwater world.

While Kushibaru may not boast the same accessibility as the renowned Nishibama Beach, it offers its own unique charm. The shoreline is a mosaic of sand, shells, corals, and stones, necessitating the use of protective slippers for a comfortable stroll. Enclosed by a natural rocky bay, Kushibaru Beach is shielded from the ocean's might, resulting in tranquil, gentle waves. However, visitors should be mindful of the underwater currents that can emerge during high tides, a stark contrast to the calm experienced during low tides.

For those seeking landmarks, the Takibaru and Kushibaru observatories stand as beacons, guiding beachgoers to this coastal paradise. These observatories not only offer panoramic views but also serve as helpful orientation points in your quest for the beach.

  • Best Time to Visit: To ensure the most enjoyable experience, it is recommended to visit

    The Kerama Islands, a stunning archipelago in Okinawa, Japan, are a paradise for beach lovers and divers. To make the most of your beach vacation, timing is key.

    • Late March to Early May: This period is ideal for those seeking comfortable temperatures and minimal rainfall. The cherry blossoms in late March are a bonus for visitors.
    • June to Mid-July: Early summer offers warm weather, but be mindful of the rainy season which can bring intermittent showers.
    • Late July to September: Peak summer months are hot and perfect for swimming and snorkeling. However, this is also peak tourist season, so expect more crowds.
    • October to November: For a quieter experience with pleasant weather, the autumn months are a great choice. The risk of typhoons diminishes in late October.

    While the Kerama Islands can be visited year-round, the best time for a beach vacation is typically from late March to early May. During this window, you'll enjoy the best balance of good weather, fewer tourists, and the natural beauty of the islands in full bloom.
