Yonama Beach (ヨナマビーチ), nestled within Yonama Seaside Park, is a scenic 300-meter stretch of soft sand located just a 15-minute drive north of Tokunoshima Airport. Surrounded by gentle waves and open coastal skies, the beach offers a tranquil setting ideal for a relaxing swim or casual snorkeling. While marine life is modest, the crystal-clear waters provide a soothing environment for enjoying the sea. With clean facilities and wide-open park grounds, it’s a great stop for families, couples, or solo travelers seeking Tokunoshima’s natural coastal beauty.
In the summer season, Yonama Beach transforms into a lively recreational spot. A seasonal outdoor pool and water slide add fun for all ages, especially families with children. The beach also gains a festive atmosphere in late June when it becomes the official starting point of the Tokunoshima Triathlon — an island-wide event that attracts athletes and spectators alike. Whether you're here to bask in the sun or take part in local excitement, Yonama Beach combines peaceful charm with vibrant seasonal energy.
