A long beach of fine white coral sand on Hateruma Island, with shallow, clear "Hateruma Blue" water over a largely bleached reef and seaweed beds where sea turtles feed. It lies a short walk or bike ride from the ferry port, served by boats from Ishigaki.
Highlights
- Powder-fine white coral sand
- Sea turtles over seaweed beds
- Sunsets over the sea
Good to know
- Free showers, toilets, one shaded gazebo
- No lifeguards; rip currents at reef gaps
- Ferries from Ishigaki often cancelled
