Aragusuku Beach
新城海岸
A quiet coral bay just north of Yoshino Beach, shallow enough to snorkel right off the sand. Sea turtles are often spotted here, and there are fewer people than at Yoshino.
Aragusuku Beach lies on the east coast of Miyako Island, about 2 kilometres north of Yoshino Beach. It is a calm bay sheltered by reef, with thriving coral in the shallow water. Green sea turtles often feed in the bay, making it one of the island's most popular spots for snorkeling with turtles. The beach has a car park (fee-based in peak season), snorkel gear rentals and showers. Note: on the outer side, the reef edge has rip currents, so do not swim past the reef. Keep your distance from the turtles and do not touch or chase them.
