Painagama Beach

Painagama Beach, located in the heart of Miyako Island’s city center, is a beloved relaxation spot for locals. While its official name is "Minami Nagama Beach," the name "Painagama" comes from the Miyako dialect, where "Pai" means south and "Nagama" refers to a long beach.

One of the biggest attractions of this beach is its excellent accessibility. Just a short walk from downtown Miyako Island, it's an easy and convenient spot to visit. The surrounding area is well-equipped with convenience stores, restaurants, and other facilities, making it a comfortable place to spend the day.

The crystal-clear waters are breathtaking, with the gentle waves and white sandy shore creating a stunning contrast. It's a great place to relax and enjoy a peaceful swim. During the summer, safety nets are set up to prevent the presence of box jellyfish, ensuring a safer experience for swimmers.

A scenic walking path runs alongside the beach, offering a pleasant stroll with the ocean breeze on your face. At sunset, you’ll find yourself captivated by the sight of the sun sinking below the horizon, accompanied by the soothing sound of gentle waves.
