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.

Yonaha Maehama Beach
A breathtaking beach just minutes from Miyako Airport, often called the best in the East.
Yonaha Maehama Beach is one of Miyako Island’s most beautiful spots, located midway between Okinawa Main Island and Ishigaki Island. It’s just a 15-minute drive from Miyako Airport, making it easy to access and a hugely popular place to visit.
The contrast of its pure-white sand beach stretching Approx. 7 kilometers and the crystal-clear emerald-green sea is so stunning it’s often called “the best in the East.” Powder-soft, fine sand, the gentle rhythm of the waves, and a horizon that seems to go on forever. Even a simple stroll along the open shoreline is sure to leave you feeling refreshed and satisfied.
There’s also a great selection of marine activities, so you can stay active with jet skiing, snorkeling, and more. If you’d rather take it slow, renting a parasol or beach chair is a great way to enjoy some quiet time—reading, napping, or simply relaxing.
Treat yourself to a luxurious, relaxing time at the beach.
