The Highlights
A quiet beach full of hidden-gem charm
A hidden spot with few tourists, where you can spend a leisurely time.
It’s a soothing place away from town, wrapped in the sounds of nature.
Clear water and white sand
See-through blue sea and silky white sand spread out, for a tropical stunning view.
It’s perfect for photography, too.
An ideal setting for snorkeling and SUP
The waves are calm and you can see fish and coral even in the shallows, so even beginners can casually try snorkeling and SUP.
You can book snorkeling and SUP on Viator or GetYourGuide, so please take a look.
Convenient access from Ueno German Culture Village
Located within the grounds of the adjacent “Ueno German Culture Village” and reachable on foot, you can enjoy sightseeing and beach play at once.
A historic site of the Robertson shipwreck
This is the setting of a true event in which a German merchant ship once ran aground and local residents rescued the crew.
It’s also a special place where culture and history live on.
Heart Rock and the Lovers’ Sanctuary
About a 2-minute walk from Nnato Beach, there’s a “Lovers’ Sanctuary.”
The name “Lovers’ Sanctuary” seems to come from the Heart Rock visible at low tide.
When I visited, it was high tide, so I couldn’t see the Heart Rock.
Well-stocked facilities you can use for free
There’s a water tap near the parking lot, and you can use the German Culture Village restrooms, too.
There are no showers, but you can rinse off with tap water.
