Senaga Island

Overview

Senaga Island is a small island, approximately 4km in circumference, located in Tomigusuku City, Okinawa Prefecture. Connected to the main island of Okinawa by a bridge, it was once known for its thriving fishing and agriculture. Recently, however, its beautiful beaches, observation points, and unique island culture have attracted significant attention, making it a popular tourist destination. Senaga Island features several beautiful beaches. Senaga Island Beach, the island's only designated swimming beach, is particularly popular with families and couples thanks to its clear waters and gentle waves. In addition to swimming and enjoying the sunset, visitors can also participate in various watersports. The Senaga Island Observatory offers breathtaking panoramic views, especially at sunset. The contrast between the vast blue ocean and the fiery sky is truly awe-inspiring. Senaga Island also provides opportunities to experience traditional Okinawan culture, including shisa (lion-dog statues) and shimauta (island songs). Visitors can participate in shisa-making workshops or attend shimauta live performances at various facilities and shops on the island. Furthermore, Senaga Island offers a wide array of restaurants serving unique Okinawan soba noodles and fresh seafood. The dishes prepared with locally caught seafood are simply exceptional. Senaga Island is the perfect place to spend a day exploring the island at your own pace, relaxing on the beach, and enjoying your own Okinawa time.
