Create an itinerary including Kondoi Beach
At Kondoi Beach, explore the expanse of white coral sand and take a swim in the Pacific's warm turquoise waters. Equipped with changing rooms and showers, the crescent-shaped beach offers excellent conditions for bathing and relaxation. Head out to the wooden piers, which jut out into the shallow sea, for a clear view of the horizon. Amenities include umbrella rentals, and nearby shops and food stands sell cold beer and snacks. Round out your visit with a leisurely stroll through the nearby village, where unpaved lanes of sand lead past traditional houses with red clay roofs, grand flower beds, guardian shisa lions, and low walls made of volcanic stone. Respect the Okinawan holy places for venerating the gods (utaki) by not crossing their thresholds uninvited. For travelers who use our international travel planner, Taketomi-jima holidays become easier to arrange, with trips to the Kondoi Beach and other attractions mapped out and timetabled.

  • Nice beach with clear turquoise water, feral cats and lots of sea cucumbers. It's one of the nicest beaches on the little island and you can walk to the city center in about 25 minutes. Make sure you visit the shops and get the mango ice that was absolutely delicious. I enjoyed my time here and I highly recommend this desolate Oasis.
  • This beach is stunning! Even though many people come, it never felt too busy. It's a great place to cycle to, and there is a guy in a truck who sells drinks and also you can rent an umbrella for the day (1500 yen). There are washroom facilities there too. The water is quite shallow and it would have been nice to have water shoes, but you don't really need them. We came here two days in a row from ishigaki, and I would love to come back some day!
  • Just a paradise. Shallow water level. White sand. You can have a long sea walk. So many kinds of fishes are swimming. But don't forget to bring coral shoes, otherwise you may get hurt. Free shower is available.
  • The best beach on the island… With several cats and chill feeling!!! Better be there in the early morning… Take first ferry from Ishigaki island at 7:30 Then you can choose visit there by bike or by walk either way is good… It’s really beautiful without many people!!!
  • Very nice beach at the island. At low tide you could walk to small sandy island appearing out of the sea on the left side
