Tokei Beach
A beach known for its unique rock formations, popular as a snorkeling spot.
Located on the northern part of Kouri Island, a small island about 8 km in circumference, Tokei Beach lies beyond Tinu Beach, known for its heart-shaped "Heart Rock." This beautiful beach, split into eastern and western sections by a small peninsula, still features coral remnants.
On the eastern side of the beach, which is about 100 meters long, you can enjoy views of Cape Hedo offshore. The western side, around 80 meters long, offers views of Izena Island and Iheya Island. The beach is known for its unique rock formations, including "potholes"—rocks with circular holes formed over many years, which are a highlight of Tokei Beach.
The shallow waters allow for swimming, except at low tide, and snorkeling is popular due to the presence of tropical fish. However, as there are no lifeguards, visitors are advised to take extra caution when swimming.
