Description

To the south of Iheya Island, before crossing over to Noho Island, there is Yonezaki Beach. Your feet will sink into the soft white sand as you walk along the beach. The sea is shallow off the shore and emanates the emerald green shine, captivating you with its intense beauty. You can see both the sunrise and the sunset on both sides of the beach, which is thinly extended to the south end of the island. It is possible to stay at the nearby campground and enjoy the quiet beach as it basks in the colors of the sun
