More information about Kabira Ishizaki
Kabira-Shizaki, a beautiful beach with emerald green ocean stretching into view, is located on the grounds of Club Med, one of the best resort hotels in Ishigaki Island. The view from the small hill is truly spectacular with coral spreading out in the crystal clear ocean. This hilltop can only accommodate about 3 people, so if there are other people, make sure to wait your turn to admire the view.
The bottom of this hill is a cliff and very dangerous if you slip. Therefore, do not go in large groups. Also, if it rains, it is very windy and very slippery. The same applies to the day after a rainy day. Check the weather information thoroughly and decide whether you can visit depending on the situation. On the way to Kabira-Shizaki, the tropical fruit, adan, grows along the Club Med road.
Adan looks like a pineapple, but it is actually a member of the bamboo shoot family. They are also very hard and tough, and although they are used for food, they are not very suitable for eating.
Such adan trees at Club Med grow in very large clusters. Therefore, you can see them while driving to access the site.
The reddish-orange hues make them look very beautiful when photographed against a blue sky or a beach. After passing such tropical fruits, you will come to Club Med's private beach. The beach is completely for the exclusive use of guests, so you will feel like a private VIP.
Because of the high transparency of the water, coral reefs can be observed from the water. If you go a little further into the ocean, you will find fish, so you can play in the water as well. In the evening, you can see a beautiful sunset, so this is a good choice for those who want to experience a private and secluded space.
