Must-visit in scorching summer Okinawa! 7 Jelly Sea Guides

Going to the beach in Japan in summer, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan is definitely the best choice! 🌊 Starting from Naha, these stunning small islands can be reached by boat in a day trip. I've compiled 7 of them! Come and see which one is your dream "sea"~ 👇 🏝️ ① Tokashiki Island Water: So clear it’s almost unfair! The true glass sea! Features: The pastoral scenery is super healing, perfect for summer water activities 🤿, snorkeling, and sunbathing! You can also explore canyon caves, and in winter it’s a whale-watching 🐳 sanctuary! Location: Tokashiki Village, Shimajiri District, Okinawa 🚢 Transportation: Take a high-speed boat from Naha Port, about 35 minutes direct! 🏝️ ② NAGANNU Island Water: Jelly sea of an uninhabited island, so beautiful it glows! ✨ The beach is all coral and shell sand, super dreamy! Features: A paradise for water activities! Snorkeling, SUP, banana boat... play however you want! Location: 3-14-2 Tomari, Naha City, Okinawa (usually refers to the departure pier) 🚢 Transportation: Depart from the pier near Naha Airport, about 20 minutes by high-speed boat! 🏝️ ③ Minna Island Water: Tiffany blue embraced by coral reefs! From the sky, it looks like a crescent moon 🌙 or a croissant 🥐, so cute! Features: Michelin-level white sandy beach 🏖️, super fine and soft! The pristine natural scenery is very well preserved. Location: Motobu Town, Kunigami District, Okinawa 905-0227 🚢 Transportation: Take a boat from Toguchi Port, only 15 minutes! 🏝️ ④ Kume Island Water: The jelly sea ceiling! Recognized as the most beautiful Japanese island! Features: Few people and beautiful scenery, a true paradise! The 7-km-long stunning sandbar "Hatenohama" is a must-visit! Also has mysterious ancient castle ruins. Location: Kumejima Town, Shimajiri District, Okinawa 🚢 Transportation: Flying from Naha Airport ✈️ is fastest, about 35 minutes (boat is also an option but takes longer). 🏝️ ⑤ Zamami Island Water: Unique "Kerama Blue"! Blue to the core 💙 Features: There is a quiet small village on the island, like a pure paradise. The starry sky 🌌 at night is amazing! Remember to come see humpback whales 🐋 in winter! Location: Zamami Village, Shimajiri District, Okinawa 🚢 Transportation: Take a high-speed boat from Naha Port, about 1 hour. 🏝️ ⑥ Kudaka Island Water: Crystal clear, fine white sand, as beautiful as a painting! Features: Excellent ecology! Cycling 🚴‍♀️ around the island is the way to go, feeling the sea breeze is super pleasant~ Location: Nanjo City, Okinawa 901-1501 🚢 Transportation: Take a boat from Azama Port, about 15 minutes by high-speed boat! 🏝️ ⑦ Ie Island Water: Jelly sea + glass sea double hit! Features: Stunning natural scenery! In spring it turns into a sea of lilies 🌷, full of romance! You can also climb high to enjoy the view. Location: Ie Village, Kunigami District, Okinawa 🚢 Transportation: Take a ferry from Motobu Port, about 25 minutes! 💡 Island selection tips: Want water sports/experience an uninhabited island: NAGANNU Island Pursue ultimate clear jelly sea/long sandy beach: Tokashiki Island, Kume Island Like unique blue/look at whales: Zamami Island Want easy island cycling: Kudaka Island Want to see flower sea/comprehensive natural scenery: Ie Island Going to the north (Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium) consider: Minna Island This summer, Okinawa’s jelly sea is waiting for you!
