The beach chosen as "Japan Best 100 Sites for Sea Bathing" by Ministry of the Environment is here! Emerald Beach♪
Hello everyone reading Okinawa Holiday Hackers.
Day by day hot weather becomes even more severe, so how are you these days^^?
Today I will introduce full of attractiveness Okinawa sea again♪
Today I would like to present to your attention a natural beach on Ikei Island in Uruma city in the central part of Okinawa Island.
＼ Oodomari Beach ／
Word “uruma” in “Uruma city” means “island of corals”♪
And this name will not deceive you. Transparency is preeminent!!!
It seems like time passes slowly on the natural beach with untouched nature (^^)
Oodomari Beach has a sense that differs from artificial beaches♪
The shore length is 600 m and it is wide♪
If take a glance at the picture it may look like shelving bottom, but since this is natural beach it suddenly becomes deep after 3 steps Σ（・□・；）
You need to be very careful about this but since you can see fishes near the sea bottom even if you stand waist-deep, so this is a favorable condition for snorkeling!
If go further to a little deep place large fish can be seen♪
This is the true attractive point of natural beach!!!
The sea view is fascinating and it seems that there are many frequent visitors.

It is possible to rent snorkel, life jacket, swimming ring, beach umbrella and another items. Lifeguard is also onsite so the environment promotes enjoying the ocean like on artificial beach. Don’t worry and enjoy the sea!
But even if don’t enter the sea it is also fun to leisurely overlook the shore under shade of a tree!!!
Father gamboling together with children, a woman trying to take a picture with utmost effort, group of friends with beer in their hands and a person relishing barbecue. Everyone spends time just they like♪
Also Oodomari Beach is know as a place where you can swim together with pets♪ Recommended for people who want to spend great time together with cute pets!
Please inform the reception about this, follow rules and have fun♪
This location is also perfect in evening!!!
On the day when air is clean you can see sky dotted with stars!
Starry sky visible from the shore is something special. Lie down comfortable and yes, I feel like a main character of this world 🙂
Moreover in a full moon night water surface is lit by moonlight and the atmosphere is very nice. Unlike the daytime you can see romantic sea scenery.
A possibility to sea starry sky and romantic sea is a feature of a remote island♪
