Rindoubaru Kaizuka Beach sits in Yomitan Village, in the central part of Okinawa’s main island.
It is a small beach, but the soft sand and crystal-clear water make it a lovely place.
Swim out a little and the water deepens, with plenty of fish and coral, making this a good spot for snorkeling.
There is hardly ever anyone at Rindoubaru Kaizuka Beach, so it feels almost like a private beach.
There are no lifeguards and no safety net, so please take real care if you go in the water.

It feels like a private beach
Perhaps because Nirai Beach is right next door, Rindoubaru Kaizuka Beach sees almost no visitors, which gives it the feel of a private beach.
Beautiful Ryukyu limestone
The Ryukyu limestone scattered across the beach is beautiful and really brings home the force of Okinawan nature.
The beautiful sand and the limestone go together perfectly.
A lovely sunset
The Instagram post above was taken from Nirai Beach, but Rindoubaru Kaizuka Beach is right next door, so you can enjoy the same view.
Surrounded by greenery
Greenery surrounds the beach, though it is not really the kind of place to sit in the shade.
The beach sits quietly in the middle of all that green.
The entrance is easy to miss, but follow the little path and you will come out onto the beach.

A rental car is the way to go in Okinawa
For sightseeing on Okinawa’s main island, a rental car is by far the best option.
The places worth visiting are scattered across the island, from Shuri Castle in Naha to the beautiful beaches up north and American Village in Chatan, and with a car you can work through them at your own pace. Local buses are infrequent and rarely run to schedule, so having a rental car makes an enormous difference to how much you get out of the trip.
Cars fill up quickly in the peak season, so we recommend booking early once your travel dates are set. One important note for overseas visitors: to drive in Japan you must obtain an International Driving Permit (Geneva Convention) in your home country before you depart, and remember that traffic in Japan drives on the left.
Summary
Rindoubaru Kaizuka Beach never draws much of a crowd, which makes it a good choice if you want to take your time by the sea.
If that sounds like your kind of beach, do stop by.
