I drove to Yomitan Village and visited Nirai Beach. This beach is managed by Hotel Nikko Alivila, but you can play here for free even if you are not a guest. Here is a summary of the actual sea clarity, how to get to the beach, and free parking.
Blue world at the bottom of the stairs
Nilai Beach is not Hotel Nikko Alivila's private beach! but in fact, it is a village-run beach. It is adjacent to the hotel, and anyone can use it freely.
There is a well secured private free parking lot nearby, and the entry to the beach is down about 30 steps as shown in the photo. For those in wheelchairs or strollers, please use the ramp in the direction of the hotel.
When you reach the stairs, you can already see the bright blue sea ahead of you. Suppress your eagerness and keep your eyes on your feet as you descend the stairs.
The beach is pure white, but sandals are a must!
When I got down to the beach, I was just impressed by the pure white sand. Because it was so white, I intentionally darkened the photo to make it easier to see the grains of sand. The sand I picked up in the palm of my hand was so fine and silky that it was easily washed away by the wind.
The beach is so beautiful that it is tempting to go barefoot, but sandals are a must because the beach is rugged with fossilized coral fragments and stones that have washed ashore, in addition to sand.
Okinawan beaches are not made of mineral “sand” as on the mainland, but coral and shells that have weathered over the years (there are other materials, such as excrement from the Ilabucha, but they ruin the atmosphere, so if you are interested, Google it!) ). ) The art of nature, completed over an unimaginably long period of time (tens of thousands, thousands, or even hundreds of years), is something you can't get enough of.
What is the clarity of Nilai Beach and swimming area?
Beyond the pure white sandy beach lies such a beautiful ocean. The biggest attraction of Nilai Beach is the overwhelmingly clear ocean water that does not make you feel the proximity from the city center. Of course, there are other beaches with equally beautiful waters, but Nilai Beach stands out from the crowd when you consider its accessibility.
What's also amazing is that even though the beach is in front of a resort hotel, no excavation has been done on the ocean floor to preserve the beauty of the natural beach. That's why there are so few swimming areas during low tide that you might wonder, ``Is this all there is?'' However, the shallow, pristine waters are safe for families with small children.
Fully equipped facilities such as changing rooms, showers, and toilets
There is a management office called ``MARINE HOUSE'' in the center of the beach, and lifeguards and lifeguards are on standby during the summer swimming season. You can also use changing rooms, restrooms, hot showers, and coin lockers, so it's extremely comfortable.
Furthermore, since there are many guests visiting Hotel Nikko Alivila, various marine activities are also available during the season. It's nice to just relax, but we also recommend getting active and enjoying marine sports as you would expect from a southern island.
The above is information about Nirai Beach, where you can enjoy the comfort of a resort hotel beach and the beauty of nature at the same time. It's in a great location, about an hour's drive from Naha Airport by public road, and about a 30-minute drive from Chatan, and being able to enjoy such a spectacular view is truly priceless. Chatan's Araha Beach and Sunset Beach, which are crowded with Americans, are good, but Nirai Beach, which has a different charm, is also worth a visit.

Nirai Beach access/free parking
On the way to Nirai Beach, there are many signs that only say "Gala Aoi Umi" and the navigation system directs you to take farm roads, which can make you feel uneasy, but don't worry about it and just head towards Alivila! If you aim for Alivila somehow, you will arrive~♪
