Kondoi Beach
コンドイ浜
The most beautiful white-sand beach on the west coast of Taketomi Island. The shallows extend hundreds of meters out, and the water shifts through a gradient of Tiffany blue. At low tide you can walk out to a sandbar in the sea.
Kondoi Beach is the only beach on Taketomi Island suitable for swimming. Its sand is fine and white, and the water is shallow and clear. The shallows stretch far out, and the sea shifts in layers from transparent to pale green to deep blue. At low tide, a white sandbar appears offshore that you can wade across. The beach has simple toilets, showers, and a summer-only kiosk, and you can rent parasols and snorkeling gear. Admission is free. It is about 15 minutes by bicycle from Taketomi Port. There are no lifeguards, so stay away from the strong currents offshore, and be sure to apply sunscreen.
