Cape Chinen Park
知念岬公園
A grassy park on a cape jutting into the Pacific in Nanjo City, with 180-degree sea views and a view of Kudaka Island, the island of the gods; it is a famous sunrise spot.
Cape Chinen Park sits on a terrace beside Sefa-utaki. From the parking lot, a curved path leads to the tip of the cape, with cliffs and coral reef shallows below. On clear days you can see Kudaka Island and a cluster of small islands, and the sea shows layers of color. The cape is also a paragliding launch site in southern Okinawa. Admission and parking are both free. It is about a 5-minute walk from the Sefa-utaki ticket office, and the two are usually visited together. Come early in the morning to see the sun rise over the Pacific. The cape is windy, so keep hats and children close.
