Geruma Island
慶留間島Okinawa
Geruma Island is a serene, no-car island known for its stunning coral reefs and vibrant marine life, making it a perfect spot for snorkeling directly from the shore. The island is also home to the rare Kerama deer, adding to its unique charm. 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.
