(+) Beautiful stretch of beach / coastline.
(+) Easy access from sidewalk.
(+) Unattended in winter (off season), so perfect place for swimming or sunbathing if you're staying at a nearby resort that has the No Swimming winter rule.
(+) Free of charge.
(+) Seems to be part of Okinawa Coast Quasi-National Park
(-) NO signs indicating that it's Tiger Beach.
(-) Unclear how much of it is public and what "belongs" to Hotel Monterey
(-) No bathrooms or any facilities (showers, changing rooms, etc.)
It's a long beach, including tiger beach, nice sand, to walk along, but not much to beach comb. Nice walk.
Of course I prefer the tiger Beach of old. My family and I spent many years on this beach over the last thirty something years. We use to have a week-long party every fourth of July for many years before they tore down the original Resort. This was the last local Resort on Okinawa. Now there are no more local resorts, they're all for the tourist with no local rates!
Mainly targetted at tourists, with activities and facilities that you need to pay for. Has life guard at designated swimming areas. Has basic shower facilties though.
One of the best beach near Onna-son on fuchaku. The moonbeach hotel provide free of cost swimming space secured by net to avoid any kind of complexity due to Jelly Fish.
