Chabana Beach

Chabana Beach

茶花海岸

Kagoshima · Kyushu

The beach closest to Chabana, Yoron's main town, with clear 'Yoron blue' water kept calm by an offshore breakwater and white sand backed by a shaded rest area. A white monument on the sand is a popular photo spot, and the approach road is styled after Mykonos in a nod to Yoron Town's long sister-city ties with the Greek island.

Why we picked it

Despite sitting right beside the island's shops and harbour it stays quiet, and locals prize it mainly as a sunset-watching spot rather than a swimming crowd magnet.
