Shinri Beach
シンリ浜
A west-coast beach beside the airport, where you can watch planes take off and land and the sun set over the East China Sea; the island's best sunset spot.
Shinri Beach lies at the western tip of Kumejima, right beside Kumejima Airport, and faces the East China Sea. The sun sets into the sea here, making it the island's most popular sunset spot, and a campground and showers are nearby. At low tide the tidal flats reveal marine life. Avoid swimming near rip currents, and wear beach shoes because the water is strewn with coral rubble. Entry is free, and it is about a 10-minute walk from the airport.
