Ama Beach

Ama Beach (阿真ビーチ), nestled on the southwestern coast of Zamami Island, is a tranquil retreat known for its laid-back atmosphere and scenic beauty. Quieter than its popular counterpart, Furuzamami Beach, Ama offers a peaceful contrast for travelers seeking solitude by the sea. The beach faces the uninhabited islets of Gahi and Agenashiku, enhancing its remote, untouched feel. On calm days, lucky beachgoers might even spot sea turtles gliding gracefully through the shallow waters near the shore—a magical moment that reflects the island’s rich marine life.

While Ama Beach is ideal for lounging and soaking in the natural surroundings, snorkeling enthusiasts will need to venture a bit farther out to discover vibrant coral gardens and schools of tropical fish. Basic amenities such as public toilets and outdoor showers are available, making it a convenient spot for a relaxed day trip. However, food and drink options are limited nearby, so bringing your own snacks or lunch is recommended. With its gentle waves, wide-open views, and serene setting, Ama Beach is perfect for those craving a quiet escape into Okinawa’s coastal nature.
