Hey man, just wanted to drop a quick shout-out for these Okinawa videos (South/Central/North). Came to Naha pretty naively thinking I could easily hop over to those little surrounding islands (Zamami, Yoron), but - reality check - getting there takes forever! You're lucky if you end up with 4 hours of beach time before that last ferry waves goodbye.. I was shocked to be honest, to leave those paradises at 4PM the latest? But hey, totally didn't do my homework there, can't blame anyone else. Anyway - this series of videos turned out to be exactly what i was looking for: it's likely i'll end up heading to some of the ones you highlighted, taking my time, enjoying every sunset... so I thank you again, for the time you spent going there + making the videos - you did saved my trip ✌Hero!
Thank you for watching. I've been busy, but I plan to make more soon. One of them being the best beaches on Okinawa's outlying islands. I'm sorry I didn't finish it before you came, because some of my favorite ones are in this video. But I hope you enjoy the ones you do see.
Hey there, love your Okinawa beach videos! Currently planning a one week stay in Okinawa with some nice beach/snorkeling experience and also visiting the Aquarium and Naha. I was looking around for some nice beach stays around Naha but could only find some nice ones in Onna. Would you recommend staying around Naha for the first time Okinawa or is Onna also fine if you plan some beach days and adventure days? Many regards, Sara
Are you looking for a paid beach? Because they usually have all that. There are still some that you don't have to pay for that have those things without a safety net. Although it's jellyfish season and I've seen them even get through the nets, so you need to watch either way.
@@worldofokinawa1369 sorry just saw your reply. I don’t know what the benefit is of a paid beach. I’m leaning towards the island in the south Miyajima - thoughts on that?
One of my next videos is going to be the best beaches of Okinawa's outlying islands, and 2 of my top favorites from anywhere in the world (including Hawaii and California) are on Miyakojima! Toguchi beach, and Yonaha beach. Toguchi beach is more for playing (you can walk out for a hundred yards and still have soft sand under your feet), and Yonaha is a little more for relaxing on the beach or windsurfing, and there's a restaurant there too) If I'm ever in a coma, my mind will be at yonaha beach watching the sunset until I wake up. I would also highly recommend waking up early and going to the lighthouse Higashi-Hennazaki to watch the sunrise. It is stunning.@@kerri-annkumar5752
A paid beach just means a resort or hotel owns them. So you will have to either stay there, or pay for parking. It's usually not too much, and they are generally safer with lifeguards and nets to keep the jellyfish away. Usually tattoos are not allowed at those ones, but I've seen plenty. Moon beach is one of my favorite paid beach. If you want to play a bit, then Manza beach is beautiful and has a floating water obstacle course and jet ski's, and other things. They all have showers and usually restaurants close by as well.@@kerri-annkumar5752
Thank you for this video, I will go there next month and I was wondering which one fixes my tight schedule. Hugs from Ibaraki.

Out of all
Okinawa - where is the best beach with kids? Soft sand and safety plus amenity’s, clear water
