Recommended points
Sandy beach that continues for about 600m
The long white sand beach is attractive, isn’t it?
The sand is very smooth.
Well equipped
Facilities such as restroom and coin locker, shower ect are provided.
There are shops and vending machines, so it’s very convenient.
The promenade along the beach is beautiful
There is a promenade along the beach, where palm trees are lined up beautifully and the scenery like Okinawa spreads out, and there were people taking a walk and playing with children.
I think the walk while looking at the beach is the best.
You can do BBQ
Reservations are required, but BBQ is also available.
It’s easy to understand because the locations are different, such as the barbecue area and beach equipment rental area.

Surrounding Area
American Village
American Village is lined with buildings with an American concept, including “fashion brands,” “general stores,” and “restaurants” for young people.
It’s especially popular with young people, and it’s a great place for Instagram.
Personally, I like the sunset from Depot Island in American Village.
Araha Resort Arapana(アラハリゾートアラパナ)
“Araha Resort Arapana” has various types of rooms, from luxury rooms with ocean views to rooms where backpackers can stay without meals.
We recommend that you choose a room that suits your needs.
It takes about 10 seconds to walk to “Araha Beach”, so you can literally reach the beach in seconds.
Summary
Araha Beach is a very beautiful beach with Araha Park thatmany people take a walk around it, and it is a place loved by the locals.
In my opinion, I had the impression this beach is beautiful, but the beaches of Onna Village and Yomitan Village are good for the transparency of the sea.
Thank you for reading until the end.
