Aara Beach

アーラ浜 · Okinawa, Japan

A quiet natural beach on the southwestern shore of Kume Island with very limited facilities. There's no net during box jellyfish season (May–October), so a rash guard or wetsuit is essential. The access road is narrow with few signs, so you'll rely heavily on car navigation.

Best tide for each activity

The same beach changes with the tide. Pick your activity, then pick your time.
