    Not a bad beach. Pros. - free parking - double netted swimming area - life guard - Semi clear water - many things to rent and do sushi as inflatables, jet ski, boat rides, flying hydro jet surfing and more Cons. - Rocky beach - very expensive to use water inflatablesand any rental items. - swimming area is a bit small if it's packed. -YEN ONLY NO CARD! - you need at least $100.00 USD to do anything worth wild.

    Such a nice quiet beach, So cool and very beautiful! Usually there aren't many people and you can enjoy the natural beauty of one of Okinawa's most famous place.

    Fun beach to walk around in low ride to check out the sea life. Lots of fun little tide pools. In the warm weather it's a great spot to swim and explore. Has access to vending machines and bathrooms. Plenty of parking.

    For some reason, there was a sign on the lifeguard tower that says snorkelling is prohibited.. maybe because of the low tide? Thus, my friend and me signed up for a snorkelling tour at the beach shop which would bring us out to sea. It was a bit expensive but fun, with lots of fishes crowding around us and our bread. When we got back, we walked onto the brown wetland that was uncovered by the receded tide and found that it was teeming with life! There were crabs, hermits, tiny starfishes, etc. We even spotted a mantis shrimp, which tried to attack my friend’s camera with a loud crack. Take a walk on the wetlands on low tide - you’ll not regret it!

    A great beach to visit in Okinawa during the high season. Avoid the hurricane season so check well the weather map. The water was warm and nice, the it was a very tranquil place to swim.

    The beach is calm. Good for families with small kids. There's a good paid shower (200 yen 5min). A small nice snack bar with a deck where we can sit while having ice cream. People can practice some water sports (paying for each one at the store located near the shower). I love this beach it's close to Cape Zanpa where we can have a nice view from the top of the light house.

    Good variety of activities and the water is really nice. 3 stars because you can't bring your own umbrella like other beaches. Other places they tell you to place it well away from their area. They waited until I got it up to tell me to move it behind the rock wall. I placed it well away from their chairs and umbrellas, very close to the prohibited swimming area and there is no sign saying I can't bring my own umbrella, only tents. So they need to update the sign.

    A wonderful place for playing white and clean sands. Safe swimming, boating, water biking/motorbiking (A lifeguard here). Sun bath. Picnicking. All is free without ticket. There is a restaurant here. You can buy some soft drinks, water, or cocktails. A public showering area is also here. A big parking area (100+ cars capacity) just the otherside. Walk only 50-100 meters cross the road to the beach within one munute.

    (Translated by Google) A wide beach with an arc. The waves are calm and the sand is good, so you can go barefoot with confidence. The water quality is ok, the hotel has a nice chapel behind and a nice atmosphere. In the off-season, it is a place for locals and guests to walk, so it is quiet and relaxing. (Original) 弧を描く広い浜辺。波が穏やかで砂質が良いので、安心して裸足になれる。水質はまあまあ綺麗だし、後ろにはホテルの素敵なチャペルがあり雰囲気が良い。オフシーズンは散歩する地元の方や宿泊者位なので、静かでのんびり過ごせる。

    (Translated by Google) A beautiful sea that is not so wide but Okinawa. I don't see many groups making noise on the beach with many foreigners, tourist families and couples coming from a few locals. At low tide, there is a tide pool near the both ends of the dike outside the swimming area, so children can easily fish. (Original) それほど広くないが沖縄らしい綺麗な海。地元民より少数で来てる外人や観光客ファミリー、カップルが多いビーチで団体が騒いでいるのはあまり見かけない。干潮時には遊泳区域外の両端堤防付近に潮溜まりができるので子供でも容易に魚採りが楽しめる。

  • 4/5 さわやか泡盛 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The staff at the beach were all smiling and helpful. There was almost no trash, the water was clean (the weather was bad until the day before, but it was still clean), and it was comfortable without the smoke of cigarettes. Parking is free in front of the road. Just one... The toilet and shower are old and dim and lonely, and a little horror... I thought it would be perfect if I renewed it. It is a nice beach that I want to visit again. (Original) ビーチにいるスタッフさん、みなさん笑顔で親切でした。 ゴミもほとんど無いし、水も綺麗で(前日まで悪天候でしたが、それでも綺麗でした)煙草の煙も無くて快適でした(たまたまなのか、完全禁煙なのかは不明) 駐車場も道路挟んだ目の前で無料。 ただ、1つ… トイレとシャワーが古く薄暗く寂れていて、ちょっとしたホラーなのが… そこをリニューアルしたら完璧だなぁと思いました。 また行きたい素敵なビーチです。

    Not so many people here. It is fun but too many rocks on the beach. Better bring your slippers in case you are no comfortable bare foot on the rock. Maybe it is the best place for doing nothing.....In the island

  • 1/5 ともたいあいゆう 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) As it is a managed beach, you can rent umbrellas and floats. That's a reasonable amount. On the other hand, on a sandy beach with many pebbles, bare feet hurt your soles like a punishment game! Even if you enter the sea, it is full of stones. I will never go again. definitely. (Original) 管理されたビーチなので、パラソルや浮き輪などはレンタル可。まあまあの金額します。その割に、小石が多い砂浜で、裸足だと罰ゲームみたいに足の裏が痛い!海に入っても石だらけ。二度と行かない。絶対に。

    It's a place you might stop by in passing, but it's not a place you really want to visit.

  • 5/5 Diana S. 7 months ago on Google • 59 reviews
    Zanpa Beach is ideal for swimming. It is clean and guarded by live guards until 6:00 p.m. There is a section of the sea divided off with nets so that you can go in without worrying about sharks or poisonous snakes. You can equip yourself with life jackets on site. You can also buy food and drink there. Changing rooms, toilets and showers are also there.

  • 2/5 Minh �. 8 months ago on Google • 20 reviews
    The sea is wonderful for those want to play some games, the net surrounded make you swim in a restricted area. For me, not recommend for who want to take beautiful pictures on the sea

    Free parking across the street. There is a life guard, a snack bar, bathroom, and showers available. They have rental services for paddle boards, umbrellas and chairs, you can also rent time for the obstacle course. There's a restaurant a short walk away, and the chicken sandwiches are worth it.

  • 1/5 Global Explorer (. 10 months ago on Google
    Disappointing place, low tide and no public transit make this place a no go. The most near bus stop is Yomitan terminal bus stop and from there ~1.5 km away is this beach but there’s no sidewalk or pedestrian road on the last 1km portion and taxis are no where to be found in this remote place. Definitely not recommended if you don’t have a car, the other nearest beach is Nagahama but from the picture you can judge by yourself if it worth’s the effort to go there.

  • 3/5 Michelle S. 8 months ago on Google
    Like that the swim area is enclosed and it has some recreational water activities/beach chairs/umbrellas for 'touristy' prices. Can be a little crowded, especially from opening to midday. Seems to be a popular spot for families.

  • 2/5 Amelia P. 8 months ago on Google
    Nice blue water and white sand. However there is net around where you can swim and the rest is restricted. There’s an inflatable kids obstacle course in the water which is a bit of an eyesore. they have the same playlist replaying 15 odd songs too which was bizarre! not quite what we expected unfortunately.

    Such a nice quiet beach. Came during a peaceful weekend and very few people around. Seems the far end of the beach is the only patch with no rocks

  • 5/5 Chun L. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Passing by a sandy beach, it is very quiet, not too many tourists! You can enjoy the gentle afternoon sun, sea breeze, and detailed beaches. There is no need to arrange too many trips, as long as you watch the sunset quietly here, step on the waves, and even see airplanes flying around, it feels like a vacation on the air. The only pity is that because there are fewer tourists, I don't see a girl in a cool dress. What a pity! There is a parking lot opposite the parking lot, which is very convenient! (Original) 路過看到的一片沙灘,很寧靜,沒有太多的遊客! 可以好好享受和煦的午後陽光、海風、細緻的沙灘。 不用安排太多的行程,只要在這裡靜靜的看著夕陽,踏著浪,甚至還能看到飛機飛來飛去,很有度假放空的感覺。 唯一比較可惜的就是因為比較少遊客,所以沒有看到穿著清涼的妹子,好可惜! 停車的話,對面就有停車場,非常的方便!
