A leisurely trip to Okinawa on an island full of charm. Seven selections of recommended spots on Sesoko Island

Cross Sesoko-ohashi Bridge and get off to the left immediately, and you will find a secret beach "Anchihama". In the morning, locals who enjoy walking and fishing are also flickering. The emerald green sea spreads out in front of you, and the pure white and smooth sandy beaches are comfortable when you walk, and you are satisfied even if you immerse yourself in the sea. Life jackets are required for swimmers because of the tide is fast. If the timing is right, you can see the ferry of I-Eshima passing under the bridge.

Sesoko Beach, which extends to the west side of Sesoko Island, is a natural beach with a total length of 800 meters. Because it is shallow, blue and transparent, you can see colorful tropical fish up close and look like a natural aquarium! At sunset time, the collaboration between Ieshima Toucho (Shiroyama) and the sunset seen beyond the beach are superb. It is a photogenic spot both day and evening, so it is crowded with many people.

Speaking of the retreat café on Sesoko Island, "fuu cafe". The open and large garden surrounded by subtropical plants and log house-like buildings are rich in nature and calm. A popular menu using Okinawan ingredients, “Umi Grape and Agu no Bowl tailored” is a luxurious dish that matches the head-produced sea grapes, which are popular with a petit texture, and black pork agg stewed with characteristic sauce. Since the number is limited, we recommend that you go early.

Follow the settlement of Sesoko Island, you will find an "Apple Cafe" marked by the tricolor flag. A wide variety of macaroons and baked confectionery made carefully by French patissiers one by one with all their heart, and is a popular café. The interior of the shop owner has renovated an old private house, is full of warmth. It is recommended as a resting spot for Sesoko Island sightseeing because you can spend a relaxing time.

"Orange Sunset", which has authentic pasta and pizza, is a Hawaiian café with a tropical mood. Not only dishes, but also signboards and interiors in the store are filled with the owner's commitment. Popular menu is an old-fashioned Napolitan with a nostalgic taste! A little hardly boiled noodles and pasta sauce are intertwined, and the taste continues until the last bite. At dusk, sit on the window side seats or on terrace seats with pets, and enjoy the orange sunset slowly.

"Travel cafe Okinawa" is located close to Anchihama. Café with pancakes and fruit drinks. The most popular is the red potato pancakes from Okinawa. The red potatoes grown by farmers in Kumejima have a lot of time and effort are finished in a monbrlan style with bright purple. Best match for freshly baked fluffy pancakes! For coffee lovers, we also recommend adult Tiramisu pancakes, where you can enjoy both sweetness and bitterness.

The marine sports shop "Sesoko Beach Marine Club", which is close to the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, is a popular marine shop where you can challenge a wide variety of marine sports. There are veteran staff members, so even beginners can feel safe. In addition to classic snorkeling and hands-on diving, you can fully enjoy the world of the highly transparent sea world, such as a banana board running around Sesoko Island and a seawall where you can take a walk under the sea with a dedicated helmet.

Sesoko Island, where peaceful time flows, there are plenty of tourist facilities such as marine shops, cafes, and souvenir shops in addition to the natural beaches with facilities. It is also recommended as a driving spot because you can easily go by car from Okinawa Island across Sesoko-ohashi Bridge.
