Copepe Beach
コペペ海岸
A quiet, shaded beach named after a South Seas islander who settled here in earlier times. Snorkel the reef on the bay's right side to see coral and tropical fish.
Copepe Beach lies north of Kominato Beach. Its name is said to come from Copepe, a South Seas islander who lived here in the Meiji era. The beach is small, with dense shade behind it, and it's quiet. The coral reef on the right side of the bay is a snorkeling spot where you often see sea turtles and tropical fish. From the road toward Kominato, it's about a five-minute walk from where you get off. There are basic showers and toilets. Nearby Ogiura Beach is good for watching the sunset. Watch for offshore currents, and swim in pairs.
