Shikiya Beach — photo spot in Kakinohana Tamagusuku, Nanjo, Okinawa 901-0601, Japan
Shikiya Beach
Shikiya Beach is a sheltered Okinawan cove with turquoise water, limestone outcrops and a gently curving shoreline — great for wide seascapes, intimate foreground rock textures and long exposures. Best at sunrise or late afternoon for warm side light; weekdays and early mornings avoid crowds. Small parking nearby; no entry fee. Respect local signage and swimmers; bring reef shoes for access to tidal rock platforms.
