Tinu Beach
A popular beach for couples, known for its heart-shaped rock.
Located on the northern side of Kouri Island, a small island surrounded by beautiful emerald-green waters and spanning about 8 km in circumference, Tinu Beach is a popular spot. Known as the "Island of Love" for centuries, Kouri Island draws special attention to Tinu Beach, home to the heart-shaped rock formation, or "Heart Rock," a famous love-themed power spot.
Heart Rock formed naturally over time, with two rocks worn by the waves aligning to create a heart shape. Many visitors enjoy finding the perfect angle to capture the heart shape in photos, making it a well-known photo spot. The beach itself, with white sand and crystal-clear waters, is also popular for swimming. It’s a free beach, though it’s worth noting that there are no shower facilities available.
Though an offshore island, Kouri is easily accessible by car via the Kouri Bridge connecting to Yagaji Island in Nago City, making it a scenic drive and a memorable visit.
