Cape Zanpa
ザンパ岬Okinawa
Cape Zanpa is a stunning cape located on the western coast of Okinawa, known for its breathtaking views of the East China Sea. The area features a picturesque lighthouse and is a great spot for photography, especially during sunset. 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.
