Yonehara Beach
米原ビーチOkinawa
Yonehara Beach is a white-sand beach on Ishigaki with a coral reef lying close inshore, which is what makes it a snorkelling stop rather than only a swimming one. It is reached by car or local bus from Ishigaki City, with parking nearby. Typhoon season runs roughly June to October, and a passing storm can cancel ferries, flights and all marine activity across the islands at a day's notice — check the forecast before you rely on this stop.
