Blue Cave

★★★★☆ (272)

The “Blue Cave” at Cape Maeda, Onna Village, Okinawa, is famous for its mystical blue light, created by sunlight reflecting off the white sandy bottom. With depths of 5–7m, it’s ideal for all levels, offering rich marine life inside and out, and is a top spot for snorkeling and experience diving.

Blue Cave hosts vibrant marine life—sparrowhawks, butterflyfish, nudibranchs, crustaceans, jellyfish, and turtles—active year-round, peaking in summer.
