Sesoko Beach — Attraction in Motobu

Came here off season (early March). Quite a calm beach, nice to chill and read a book, but also to collect some beautiful shells. The water is super clear and you can watch some animals and corals at the shore. Inside various shells you can find crabs and snails, but there's also sea snakes, and I saw a view small jelly fish, so be careful. The sand is sometimes Rocky, sometimes sandy but not super clean. There's a bit of trash here and there, unfortunately. On the other side, you have quite a few caves just opposite of the sea, which is really nice and to hang out in and chill from the heat. If you bring your snorkeling stuff you can definetley go further into the ocean to do so. Sitting at the beach you can see Ie and Minna Island. Parking lots are just on the street leading here and there's a really nice cafe nearby which has a tropical theme and serves great...

They had the parking lot and entry road to the beach blocked off but we just parked on the road as there was no traffic down to the beach.

I would recommend November for visiting if you want the beach mostly to yourself. Just be careful this year getting back there as there is construction of a new resort hotel near...

Water is not deep, only waist height (I’m 1m87). Also the sea doesn’t have sand, but rather a layer stone/dead coral, not easy to step around without sea shoes… Lots of fish to spot if you have goggles or snorkel, but again the water is not deep. And it wasn’t clear due to many visitors.

Also very busy on a Friday afternoon, parking was 1000yen and a 5minute walk from parking to the sea. There are showers, toilets and a vendor which sells drinks/shaved ice. Can also rent sun-bed/parasol which was 4400yen I believe. (Rather expensive)

P.s. if you walk to the left when going down the stairs, there’s a very nice spot to chill, I would suggest checking it out because the beach itself is not...
