1 of 2 in Kerama Islands

Zamami Island (座間味島, Zamami-jima) is the second largest of the stunning Kerama Islands, renowned for its breathtaking white sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters, perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and diving. Just a short walk from the village surrounding the port, visitors can easily access the island's main beaches, making it an ideal destination for sun-seekers. The hilly, forested interior of Zamami offers observation decks that provide panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.

For those in search of a more tranquil escape, the uninhabited islands of Gahi and Agenashiku are only a five-minute boat ride from Zamami Port. Pristine and serene, these secluded islands invite beachgoers to bask in the sun and explore vibrant underwater life through snorkeling. With no facilities, it's a true getaway for nature lovers seeking solitude amidst the beauty of Zamami Island.

Zamami Village is the main area where most people stay and where you’ll find shops, places to eat, and tour companies. Many hotels and tours that are farther away will come pick you up from the port when you arrive.

Getting around is easy. You can take a bus from Zamami Port to popular beaches like Furuzamami Beach and Ama Beach for a small fee. If you prefer to explore on your own, rental cars, mopeds, and bikes are also available.
