What to expect when visiting Shigira Beach
When visiting Shigira Beach, it is important to first check the sea conditions. The sea of Miyakojima is very beautiful, but sometimes strong currents and winds can blow. Therefore, it is safer to work with a guide when snorkeling or diving. It is also a good idea to check about dangerous creatures lurking in the sea before entering the ocean.
The beaches are rich in nature, but this requires careful footwear. Because of the rocky terrain, sandals or beach shoes are recommended for comfort. Furthermore, the sun is strong, so be sure to take sunburn protection. Especially during the summer months, ultraviolet rays are strong, so it is a good idea to have a hat and sunglasses.
And although Shigira Beach is a popular spot, it is rarely overly crowded, allowing visitors to enjoy a relatively peaceful environment. Before visiting, however, it is advisable to check the availability of nearby facilities and tours to ensure a smooth visit.
