Love this beach! I’m torn about posting a review because that means more ppl will come, but it’s such a great place. You do have to pay for parking, but it covers access to the showers & beach. Food is separate. Generally we avoid pay beaches because there are too many rules, fees, or people. Unlike Ikei beach, they do not require you to rent a life jacket just to use your snorkel. If you rent a pop-up tent or umbrella, they will give you a fish sausage to feed the fish. The fish will swarm you because they are used to being fed. The swells are minimal so great for little swimmers. The reef isn’t super developed in this area, however if you swim a ways out, there’s quite a bit to see. There’s several anemone’s & clown fish. If a super robust reef is desired, this will probably be a disappointment (go to the seawall). However given that this beach is usually not overly packed and the staff is friendly, it makes up for its lack of robust reef & small shower facilities.

Not from Okinawa but we’ve visited a few times and we were shocked to have to pay for this beach, which was crowded and the “facilities” not very clean. It was 500 yen per person and we were unsure if we even wanted to stay but felt pressured to. The beach overall was lovely but small with coarse sand and was nothing special for Okinawa. Although, I enjoyed playing with and watching the hermit crabs. Also, we could not just lay anywhere along the beach. The “showers” (only 2 from what we saw) were full and didn’t look clean so we couldn’t even get the sand off our feet. The bathrooms looked gross, we just went elsewhere. If this were a free beach we’d give it 3.5 stars. Would not go back unless it was free or they properly cleaned the beach and “facilities”. I took some good pics though!

Beautiful beach, not very crowded and snorkeling was amazing for me since I don't like swimming to much. Lots of different types of fishes and the swimming area is netted so I felt save as I could. Water was clear to see all the fishes. Workers are sweet and bust their butts especially with parking. I will definitely go back!! Edit: its 500 yen per person in a car. You can bring your own umbrella but you'll have to 500 yen. They have showers and water sports (water sports are 2,500 yen per person). Canopy prices vary in prices, from 2,000 to 3,000 yen. Have lots of yen with you if you plan to do alot.

Beautiful beach for sure. Great snorkeling with tons of fish and wildlife. One reason is that they give you half a hotdog to feed the fish so as soon as you enter the water, every fish is your friend! Prices to park and come in are ¥500 per person, ¥300 for elementary age school kids. One annoying fact is that you have to pay ¥500 to use your own beach umbrella since they rent little ones there. You can rent a large tent for ¥3,000 per day or pay ¥1,500 for their little coverings. Kind of annoying but not a big deal. We will most likely go back!

Super nice place to spend the day with family and friends. Friendly staff who work to keep it super clean. They have a life guard. Restrooms shade and tables to rent. If you choose. It’s a private beach so you pay to enter but it’s totally worth it you get what you pay for. We spent the whole day with friends and brought food. The kids didn’t want to get out of the water lots of fish to see snorkeling. And at the end of the day the staff gave the kids goody bags. We will return.

Cool beach where you can see tons of beautiful fish right in front of you in the water. You can feed them with stale bread, I heard that they also love frozen peas. You pay 500¥ per person including parking and shower access. The place is run by a few nice local guys. There’s snorkeling gear, floats, etc available to rent. There’s little to no shade except for tents that are available for rent. The sign says 3,000¥ but we hid under there a little. Great beach
