Tropical Beach

Tropical Beach in Ginowan is a great spot if you’re looking for a laid-back day by the ocean in the center of Okinawa. The beach has soft white sand, clear shallow water perfect for swimming, and a really chill atmosphere. It’s especially popular with locals and families because it’s clean, easy to access, and has everything you need—like showers, restrooms, lockers, and even a small shop for snacks and drinks.

One of the best parts? The BBQ area. You can rent all the gear and enjoy a seaside cookout with friends or family. Just note that you have to book in advance and order your food from their menu—they don’t allow outside food, which is either a great idea or not depending on your style.

Tropical Beach is right next to Ginowan Seaside Park and the Okinawa Convention Center, so there’s plenty to do nearby. You can go for a jog, let kids play at the park, or check out local events. There’s lots of shops close by, including the Round 1 sports and activites center so if the weather takes a turn there’s some indoor activities close by as well.
