Aharen Beach

Aharen Beach (阿波連ビーチ), located about 4.5 kilometers south of Tokashiki Port, is the largest and most popular of the island’s two main beaches. With its soft white sand and calm, turquoise waters, Aharen is a favorite spot for sunbathers, swimmers, and snorkelers alike. The beach is thoughtfully divided into designated zones for swimming and snorkeling, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for visitors of all ages and skill levels. Framed by forested hills and dramatic coastal rock formations, it offers a picture-perfect setting for a relaxing day by the sea.

Just steps from the shoreline, you’ll find rental shops offering everything from snorkel gear and floats to umbrellas and beach chairs. Clean restrooms, outdoor showers, and a selection of casual restaurants ensure a comfortable, hassle-free experience. Many local accommodations and tour companies also provide marine activities such as guided snorkeling trips and boat excursions. For a panoramic view of the area, the nearby Kubandaki Observatory offers sweeping vistas of the coastline and the endless blue of the Pacific—making it an ideal stop before or after your beach visit.
