Miyako
A peaceful island in the sun for watersports, cycling and golf
In Japan beautiful shades of blue are known as Miyako Blue. This is because the crystal blue waters that surround this island differ in azure shades due to differing corals below the surface.
Today you will enjoy a beach picnic on the stunning white sand Maehama Beach and later visit the rocky Peninsula waves that crash among rocks dotted in the azure ocean.
A great place to play in the water, snorkel and scuba right from the swim platform. Golf courses, restaurants and entertainment ashore, beach BBQ’s and beach entertainment.
