Yoron island

Yoron is a laid back island located just to the north of the main Okinawa island. Most travelers have never heard about local beautiful beaches. So Yoron remains a secret spot untouched by the mass tourism. Besides beaches and great snorkeling, you will also find a pastoral countryside in the inner island, - you can easily walk to from any place on the coast. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]

On the east coast of the island there is also a campsite, where you can spend a night in your own tent.

June is the only time for a good beach holiday on Yoron island. That time it is warm enough and not too rainy. But in general in Okinawa summer is a rainy season, while it is cold in winter.
