Yonaha Maehama Beach
Among Miyako Island, located midway between Okinawa Main Island and Ishigaki Island, Yonaha Maehama Beach stands out for its exceptional beauty. Just a 15-minute drive from Miyako Airport, it’s easy to reach and a hugely popular spot. The contrast of its pure-white sand beach stretching Approx. 7 kilometers and the crystal-clear emerald-green sea is so striking it’s often called “the best in the East.”
Seriously SO beautiful! The sand is bright white, and the water is this gorgeous blue-to-green gradient—you can’t help but take a million photos.
The beach is long and super nice to walk on. It didn’t feel too crowded, and the vibe is really laid-back.
On a clear day, it honestly feels like you’re in a postcard. Definitely one of Miyakojima’s must-visit beaches.
