Mibaru Beach

On Okinawa's southeastern coast near Nanjo, known for its shallow reef shelf and the glass-bottom boat tours that run year-round over the coral. The boats are the main draw here, giving you a close view of fish, sea turtles, and coral formations without getting wet. The beach itself is white sand, lifeguarded during peak season, and calm enough for children. A barbecue area near the facilities is popular with families who book ahead to grill food on the beach. Gear rental for snorkeling is available on site. The water temperature stays swimmable well into autumn.
