ugust is the month to enjoy the crystal-clear waters, fine sand, and outstanding views of the heaps of beaches Okinawa has to offer. It’s time to take out your ever-reliable outdoor and beach gear and make sure to enjoy this beautiful August weather outdoors! As you pack, don’t forget to grab a Venture Magazine and read through the pages as you lay on the beach enjoying the rays of sunshine.
Show us the hidden beauty of this island ...
But wait! Before you dip your toes in the water, here are a few submissions we’ve gathered for this month’s Find Something Special. Each submission features different perspectives as to how people view the beauty of living on an island. Get your phones out and jot these three locations down to add to your list! First, we have @luneandroses’ daughter pose as they enjoyed the day viewing hydrangeas in full bloom during the rainy season. Hydrangeas spread all over the garden filling every edge of the photo with their blue and purple blooms. Even in the monsoon season, you can find activities to explore on the island. The highlight, though, is her daughter distinctly enjoying herself being surrounded by the pretty blossoms. Make sure to save this on your list for the next hydrangea season!

The perfect shot doesn’t… I stand corrected; it exists! @samanthaevans_ photography’s shot makes us wish we were in the pool right at this moment; a kids’ pool to be exact. It is evident that a kids’ pool is more fun as you can slide down their water slides and stand in excitement in front of a water bucket dump. Splashes are clearly a recipe for a fun-tastic summer as shown in this little boy’s face getting splashed over. So, what are you waiting for? Head on over to a pool or beach near you and swim, splash, and float away this summer! Speaking of beach, @plantsviewsfood floats away her day at one of the beautiful beaches on island. This snapshot gives us a sense of relaxation we all need as the clear blue water flows calmly underneath her. Yet another sign for you to enjoy a day or two at the beach to unwind and relax. Believe it or not, this alluring beach is only a drive away! Don’t forget to tag us, #FindSomethingSpecial, as you take advantage of the remaining summer days! Whether you’re at the beach, a café, hiking, or simply just strolling around the island, make sure to grab a few snapshots to show us the hidden beauty of this island we call home. ‘Til next time, readers! 40 VENTURE | KADENAFSS.COM
