Crystal Beach
★★★★☆
(52)
Crystal Beach (Yamahara Beach) in Kabira, Ishigaki, is a secluded site with natural crystal deposits from Mt. Omotodake’s river. Its unspoiled waters host coral reefs, tropical fish, and sea turtles. Access is via a steep slope with limited facilities, so preparation and caution are essential.
Crystal Beach features coral reefs, clownfish, sea turtles, and other marine life, with crystal-clear waters from Mt. Omotodake carrying natural crystals.
