Sukuji Beach

Sukuji Beach

底地ビーチ

Okinawa

A roughly 1km beach on Ishigaki's northwest coast near Kabira Bay, known for calm, shallow, reef-protected water that makes it popular for families and swimming rather than surfing. 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.

Why we picked it

A quieter alternative beach near the more famous (glass-boat-only) Kabira Bay -- genuinely swimmable, unlike Kabira itself.
