Beaches
There are far too many beautiful beaches to mention. Onna Village’s coastline features some of the best on the island with names such as Inbu, Seragaki, Fuchaku, Malibu, Tiger, and others. They range from resort beaches equipped with every amenity imaginable to deserted stretches where one can curl up under a parasol with a good book and a jug of ice-cold water. Central Okinawa features many family-friendly beaches with all the amenities such as Sunset and Araha Beaches (both in Chatan) as well as Ginowan’s Tropical Beach located near the Ginowan Convention center.
Forest Adventure Park Well known as one of Okinawa’s most thrilling outdoor athletic parks, Forest Adventure is located high in the hills of Onna Village. Its many attractions, such as the Zip Slide ride, Amazon Rope Bridge, Tibetan Bridge and others, offer breathtaking views of the East China Sea in the distance. MCCS Tours+ offers regular tours and discount tickets (children must be at least six years old and 56 inches tall). For more information, visit
