It is an artificial beach inside the convention centre park, and you can reach it by bus without a car, which in Okinawa is not a given. It is not a resort beach: it is where the people of Ginowan go on Sundays, with a marked-off barbecue area and glass banned.
An artificial beach in the Ginowan seaside park, opened in May 1993 next to the Okinawa convention centre. Since 2024 it has carried a commercial name because of a sponsorship deal; the municipality still calls it simply Tropical Beach.
ℹ️ Swimming from the opening of the season (18 April in 2026) until 30 October; the stated hours are 9:00–18:00. ⚠️ No source states that there is a jellyfish net or a lifeguard, nor that entry is free: the net that marks off the swimming area is not stated to be a jellyfish net, and should not be mistaken for one. Coin-operated showers, one hundred yen for three minutes. One hundred and eighty parking spaces, with one-way traffic. Glass and animals are prohibited.
