At Sunayama Beach, observe the arch-shaped rock formed by centuries of crashing waves cutting a natural gate into the coral wall. The arch has become a symbol for this pristine beach, along with its white powdery sand and emerald green waters. Just 4 km (2.5 mi) away from the main city, the beach serves as a haven for water sport activities, as well as resting and soaking up the sun. Take advantage of some of the world's clearest waters--with 50-60 m (160-195 ft) visibility--by diving in and exploring the various coral species and marine life below the surface.

Very charming beach, a little bit remote, accessible by foot after a 3 minutes walk, definitely nice for pictures and spending a calm moment. Not the best sand though, but still a lovely place!

It’s a perfect place to take pictures of yourself in nature with beautiful colors around. For swimming I’m not sure, the waves were too fierce looking I couldn’t get into the water. 🥲

You can get there on foot or bus from the town if you don’t have a car. Not too busy and you can do snorkeling and see some fishes.

This is the only Miyoka beach that has taxis’ waiting near the free car park (good for about 30 cars). The actual sight is a bit different from promo photos. I did not manage my expectations and was rather disappointed having swum and hung around in the small beach on August 19, 2019.

Such a beautiful place! The sea is not completely calm, i would say average but you can still bring kids here to play. There’s a little place that rents out umbrellas, chairs and water equipment. I didn’t go to the water as you as signs about the dangerous animals.
