OCEANS 新原海底観光センター

Such a beautiful place to spend the day! If the tides out, you can easily walk in the shallow water and find all sorts of sea life (anemones, sea stars, cucumbers, etc). Our kids spent hours snorkeling! The famous Okinawa sign is here if you’re on the hunt for it. ¥500 to park, bathrooms available.

Pretty spot but no designated swimming area

We paid 500 yen for parking, came down to the beach. My wife and kids used bathroom closest to us and got harrased by the Glass Boat people for using their bathroom. It's not clear who owns what, and there are no signs depicting anything. Then some guy comes over to the.picnic table where we sat and demanded 1000 yen claiming you must rent the table. As you can see in the pics, there are no signs saying anything about money or rental. The guy in white in the pic was nasty and rude. The beach is gorgeous, but stay away from these people! Find somewhere else to park. They totally take advantage of tourists. Be warned!

Nice beach. Not too crowded during my visit. There's a parking fee of 500 yen. There are also glass boats tour.

Amazing holiday photo location! Pet friendly! Only had to pay ¥500 for all day parking!
