Hoshizuna Beach
星砂ビーチOkinawa
Hoshizuna Beach is renowned for its unique star-shaped sand grains, which are actually tiny coral fragments. The beach offers stunning turquoise waters and is a perfect spot for snorkeling and relaxation away from the crowds. 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.
