John Beach
ジョンビーチ
A hidden white-sand beach at the southern tip of Chichijima with no road access. It takes about two hours on foot from Kominato Beach, and the water is exceptionally clear.
John Beach lies at the southernmost tip of Chichijima. Its fine white sand and gradient blue-green water make it one of the island's most beautiful hidden beaches. There's no road access. From Kominato Beach you hike along the forest trail toward Minamizaki. One way takes about two hours, and the round trip requires about five hours. The trail has many ups and downs and little shade, so bring at least three liters of water and sun protection, and it's best to go with a local guide. The beach has no facilities at all. Rip currents are strong, so don't swim far, and swimming alone is prohibited. Within the nature reserve, don't take sand or coral away, and clean seeds off your shoes before entering the forest to prevent the spread of invasive species.
