Nishibama Beach is located on the quiet Hateruma island of Okinawa. It is known internationally for its "Hateruma blue", famously beautiful waters. The shores of the Nishibama beach are shallow, perfect for snorkeling. Locals will say that the Nishibama Beach is the most beautiful in all of Okinawa, due in no small part to its beautiful blue and emerald hues and bright skies. With plenty of fun to be had in the evening as well, make sure to plan a trip to visit Hateruma island's observatory to see the stars.
