Kominato Beach
小港海岸
The largest white-sand beach on Chichijima, nestled at the end of a valley, and the starting point for hikes to Minamizaki and John Beach.
Kominato Beach lies in the southwest of Chichijima and is the terminal stop of the village bus. The long white-sand beach is enclosed by cliffs and trees on both sides, and the water shifts from light blue to deep blue. It's good for swimming and watching the sunset. A trail at the far end of the beach leads to Nakayama Pass. On the other side of the beach is the starting point of the hiking trail to Minamizaki and John Beach, which takes most of a day round trip, so bring plenty of water. Nearby is a small mangrove area at the mouth of the Yase River. It is about 20 minutes by car from Omura, and bus service is available.
