Recommended Points
The combination of Sesoko Bridge and the sea
Antchi Beach is located beneath the Sesoko Bridge.
The combination of the blue sea and the imposing bridge is exceptionally beautiful.
Crystal-clear waters
The high transparency of the water is very appealing.
It’s difficult to convey in images, but when you see it in person, it’s astonishingly beautiful.
White sandy beach
Antchi Beach features a white sandy shore that stretches for approximately 150 meters.
There are plenty of seashells and coral on the beach, so we recommend wearing sandals or shoes rather than going barefoot while walking.
Abundant activities such as snorkeling
At Antchi Beach, you can enjoy activities such as snorkeling, canoeing, and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP).
You can also make reservations online, so why not check it out?
