Nishihama Beach, Hateruma (ニシ浜) ニシ浜
TripAdvisor: most beautiful beach in Japan in 2017. A rescue post only since 2019.
A beach on the north side of Hateruma Island, the southernmost inhabited point in Japan, in the Yaeyama archipelago. It can only be reached by ferry from Ishigaki (about 90 minutes, a route subject to frequent cancellations in rough seas). There are no shops on the beach itself; it has showers, toilets and benches.
