Sesoko Beach
瀬底ビーチ
A natural white-sand beach on Sesoko Island off the western side of Motobu Peninsula, with exceptionally clear water, famous for its sunsets and the views from Sesoko Bridge.
Sesoko Island connects to Motobu Town via the 762-meter Sesoko Bridge, which you can drive across. While crossing, you can look down over the jade-colored sea. Sesoko Beach on the island's west side is about 800 meters long and is one of the most transparent natural beaches around Okinawa Main Island. In the shallows you can see tropical fish, making it good for snorkeling and playing in the water. The sunset facing toward Ie Island is the signature view in the evening. The beach is free to enter. Lifeguards are on duty during swimming season, while showers, lockers and parasols are paid, and the Hilton Okinawa Sesoko Resort is next door. It is about 1.5 to 2 hours' drive from Naha and about 20 minutes from Churaumi Aquarium, making it a good pairing with the aquarium and Bise Fukugi Tree Road for a northern day trip.
