Tomari Port (Tomarin)

泊港(とまりん)

Okinawa

Naha's inter-island ferry terminal, nicknamed 'Tomarin,' where boats depart for the Kerama Islands, Kume Island, and other outlying islands. The adjacent Tomari Iyumachi fish market sells fresh tuna and local seafood straight off the boats. This is a working harbor and transit hub, not a swimming beach -- Naha's only public beach is the artificial Naminoue Beach elsewhere in the city. Typhoon season runs roughly June to October, and a passing storm can cancel ferries, flights and all marine activity across the islands at a day's notice — check the forecast before you rely on this stop.

Why we picked it

Many tourists flock to more popular beaches, overlooking this tranquil gem.
