Hamahiga Island is a remote island in Uruma City, central Okinawa Prefecture.

Even though it is a remote island, it can be reached by car because it is connected to the main island of Okinawa by a bridge.

There are several beaches on Hamahiga Island, and all of them are attractive, but I will introduce the beaches that I actually went to and carefully selected.

What is Hamahiga Island?

Hamahiga Island is a very small island with a circumference of 6.69 km and a population of 531 according to wikipedia information. (As of 2021/11/3)

It is also famous as some “God’s Island” in Okinawa, and there is a legend that “AmamiKiyo (Amamichu)” and “Shinerikiyo (Shirumichu)” who have the legend of the god who created Ryukyu lived on Hamahiga Island.

Many people come to enjoy the mysterious atmosphere such as “Shirumichu Sacred Ground” and “Amamichu’s Tomb”.

And also the beaches are not very famous, but there are many beautiful beaches.
