[2025 Miyakojima Attraction] Travel Guide for Aragusuku Beach (Updated Aug)

Aragusuku Coast is located in the southeast of Miyako Island, about 290 kilometers from the main island of Okinawa. Miyako Island has such rich nature that it has been designated a natural monument, but Aragusuku Coast has a beautiful sea that attracts many repeat visitors. Currently, many tourists are visiting due to its beauty. Aragusuku Coast is about 30 minutes from Miyako Airport on a public road, and about 40 minutes from Hirara Port, so it is quite accessible. There is also a parking lot, where about 100 cars can be parked for free. However, since it is a very popular spot, please be careful that even this number of cars may be filled up during the season. There is no doubt that it is such an attractive place! Please come and visit! ! #Amazing view #Summer trip #Japan Genki Project 2021 #Summer trip #Amazing view #Trip with children

We returned to the beach at about 9:30 in the morning. Fortunately, we parked in the free parking lot. After parking, many cars arrived one after another. There were many beach facilities, but because we mainly swam, we did not rent a sun umbrella! The place where turtles appeared is to the left of the beach entrance. In less than 5 minutes, we saw the first one. Turtles appeared one after another. We saw about 10-12 turtles. Turtles are not afraid of people. They are so cute😻! Before we knew it, we stayed at this beach for four hours and left with a satisfied mood😉! #Miyakojima #New Town Coast #Sea Turtle
