Adan Beach

The Beach near Cafe Kurage(Closed)
Address:Sosu, Kunigami, Kunigami District, Okinawa Prefecture 905-1502
5 minutes away from Adan beach towards Ada by car. Please be careful when you enter the beach from the side of the road as it is not constructed properly and it seems easy to fall over. However, there are ropes tided by previous visitors and the ropes can be used as an aid to go down to the beach.
Because it is so hard to get to, therefore it has barely been disrupted and polluted. Recommended for people who just want to have some intimate spaces at the beach!
