I've been coming here for 15 to feed the friendly cats, walk the trails, and take in the sites. I live 30mins away in minami-tobaru, but I still drive out here three times a week or so to enjoy this place. Bring your camera because there are some cool overlooks where you can get some beautiful shots of the waves crashing against the cliffside. There are some great paths for walking so bring some comfortable shoes. If you are an animal lover then bring some leftovers or some cat food. When you get to the parking lot and get out of your car I suggest you make a loud "meow" sound a few times and watch the cats come to you. There are over twenty cats who live here almost all have been spayed or neutered by a local non-profit. They also do a ninja show here in the tourism months.

A breathtaking view of Okinawa's majestic ocean waves, Cape Zanpa Park is a must-visit destination. This park offers a tranquil and open space, perfect for immersing yourself in the natural beauty that surrounds you. One of the park's standout features is its iconic lighthouse, which adds a touch of charm and serves as a focal point for capturing stunning photographs. As you gaze out from the cape, you'll be awestruck by the sheer power and magnitude of the waves crashing against the rocky shoreline. It's a truly mesmerising sight that leaves an indelible impression. Don't miss the opportunity to experience this remarkable location and create lasting memories of Okinawa's awe-inspiring coastal beauty.

Stunning views! You can see the cliffs, ocean and back towards the hotel area. Be prepared to pay 300 per person (if over 12 years old). The lady tried to count them for admission so we told her their ages and they went in for free. Buy at the door. Walk 99 slightly steep stairs up to see the views. If you suffer from fear of heights or dizziness probably don't go up and enjoy the view from below. Hold on to your hats and tie your long hair before you reach the top. No shelter from the sun at the top but beautiful views. Worth it! Toilet and snacks very near the lighthouse

Cape Zanpa is one of the best sunset spots in Okinawa. Therefore, to end the day So we drove to wait to take a picture of the evening light at Cape Zanpa. But must secretly be disappointed because the evening has already closed A lot of clouds So instead of a soft pink light, the white lighthouse that is the highlight of Cape Zanpa is also closed for repair. So I stopped taking pictures of the sea view with the lighthouse .. But it's okay because the beauty is always around. Just open your heart and look at it :)

Parking was easy and not hard to find. Peaceful. It is currently under construction so the lighthouse has scaffolding on it. But the surroundings are nice. Wasn't too crowded on a Saturday evening and into the night. Maybe 3 people were there. Great for nighttime photos and stargazing as it's far enough away from the hotels to not have too much light pollution. Bring a flashlight if you go at night because the paths are not lit, only the bathroom at the parking lot has lights. Bathroom was also very clean.
