Yakomo Beach, gently located in the southern part of Okinoerabujima (China Town), is one of the island's leading superb beach resorts rich in tropical atmosphere, where the emerald green sea, transparent as far as the eye can see, and the pure white sandy beach spread beautifully in a bow shape. Along the coastline, beautiful lush green sago palm forests and screw pines are lined up in an orderly manner as windbreaks, and the contrast between the blue sky and the sea is very photogenic. Because it is surrounded by vast coral reefs, the waves are surprisingly calm, and you can meet colorful tropical fish just by taking one step into the sea with snorkeling. It is a hidden paradise where you can fully enjoy luxurious island time in the silence as it is, not overly touristy.
