Beach

Message from

Kaiji Beach on Taketomi Island is a hidden gem for beachcombing enthusiasts looking to hunt for star-shaped sand grains. Located just a short ferry ride away from Ishigaki Island, this remote beach offers a unique experience of sifting through the sand to find these tiny treasures. With no cars allowed on the island, visitors can explore the beach by rental bicycle or on foot, making it a peaceful and relaxing spot to enjoy the beauty of the water and maybe even swing on a tree swing. Don't forget to watch out for the crows and cats eyeing your snacks!
