Miyakojima is a small island but it leads the rankings of Japanese best beaches. Even during the Christmas holidays you can swim there! Here are our 3 favorite beaches:
Maehama Beach is excellent for swimming and other water sports. It’s a long white sand beach. It’s good for families.
Yoshino Beach is a smaller beach perfect for Snorkeling
Sunayama Beach for the picture! A great way to explore the island is to ride a bicycle. If you’re fairly healthy you can go around most of the island in a day though most people visit the island by rental car.
