What is Minaminohama Artificial Beach?

 

 

Nannuhamacho Artificial Beach is an artificial beach located in Nannuhamacho, a reclaimed land in the southern part of Ishigaki Island.
The reclaimed land is not suitable for swimming and does not offer as many marine activities as other beaches, but it is a well-maintained man-made beach.

 

Many of Ishigaki Island's natural beaches are not equipped with restrooms and changing rooms, but this beach is equipped with changing rooms, locker rooms, and showers. However, there are no restaurants around the beach, so you may have trouble finding a place to eat, but there are rest areas in the surrounding green park, so you can buy food in advance and bring it in for a leisurely meal.

 

Directions to Minami-Nuohama Artificial Beach

 

 

Nannuhama Artificial Beach is just a stone's throw from Ishigaki Port. Leaving the port, head south on Route 390, turn right at the intersection of Southern Gate Entrance, and Southern Gate Village is right in front of you. It can be accessed by crossing the bridge.

Nanu Hamacho Artificial Beach is an artificial beach built in 2016 in Nanu Hamacho, a reclaimed land across the iconic Southern Gate Bridge in Ishigaki Island. The Southern Gate Bridge is a spot where you can watch the sunset and sunrise, and you can get a great view when you go up to the top of the bridge. The bridge is paved on one side and can be accessed on foot as well as by car to the town of Minami Nuhama. It is also close to the city center, so you may want to take a walk there for a short while.

 

 

 

It is also accessible by car, as there is free parking across the Southern Gate Bridge. Beach parking is available, so you can park your car and step right out onto the beach.
Looking from the parking lot, the artificial beach of Minami-nu-hama-cho stretches to the right, and the observatory and green park are on the left.
The artificial beach in Minami-nu-hama-cho is safe and secure, and the management facility keeps a close eye on the safety of the beach.

 

Because Nannu Hamacho Beach faces the open ocean, the area for swimming is limited due to the placement of wave dissipating blocks. Although the beach is less accessible than other beaches, it is designed to prevent the waves of the open ocean from entering, so it is safe to play on the beach with little risk of roughness. As a newly built beach, it has excellent facilities. There are two buildings, one for men and one for women, each equipped with toilets, lockers, changing rooms, and shower rooms (200 yen/3 times). Smoking is prohibited in all facilities and on the beach, and smoking is only allowed in designated areas outside the facilities.

 

Like the Southern Gate Bridge leading to Nannuhama Town, the Nannuhama Artificial Beach is also a famous sunset spot. Facing the open ocean, visitors can watch the sun set into the sea. There is also an observatory nearby, so you can enjoy a panoramic view of the surrounding area.

 

Some people may be puzzled by the advantages of using artificial beaches in Okinawa, where there are many natural beaches. However, since artificial beaches are generally located close to the city center and are well maintained, they are easy to drop by and can be used safely by people with small children. Also, since they have a strong image of being clean beaches, they are recommended for couples who want to visit a beautiful beach.

 

There are also various events and activities, so you can visit even if you only have a little time on your hands.
