Sakibaru Beach

Amami Islands


This stunner of a beach lies about 4.5km up a point of land just north of Kise (about 20km northeast of Naze). Take a Sani-bound bus from Naze and get off at Kiseura (¥950), and then walk. If you're driving, it's marked in English off the main road (be prepared for narrow roads).
