Sukuji Beach
底地ビーチ
A shallow-bay beach on the western side of Kabira Bay, ringed by casuarina trees, with calm, shallow water, protective nets and lifeguards. Good for family swimming and watching the sunset.
Sukuji Beach lies in the inner bay on the western side of Kabira Bay. The water is calm and the slope gentle, so you can wade far out before the water reaches your waist. In summer there are jellyfish nets and lifeguards, making it one of the best beaches on Ishigaki for swimming with children. It is also known as the most beautiful sunset beach on the island. Casuarina trees along the shore provide good shade, and there are showers, changing rooms and a small shop. Entry is free (facilities are charged), and the summer season runs roughly April to October. The beach is about 5 minutes' drive from Kabira Bay and about 30 minutes from Ishigaki city.
