Yoshino Kaigan Beach on Miyako Island is not only a stunning beach, it has pretty decent snorkeling too. It does comes with a modest cost for access: there’s a paid parking lot at the top of the hill that charges ¥1,000, and that fee covers parking + shuttle transport down to the beach

Try the Spam Onigiri food truck at the top for a taste of one of Miyakojima's local flavors.
