Sachikatsu Coast
What is Sachikatsu Coast?
Sachiyuki Beach is a stretch of coastline that lies in front of the Sachiyuki settlement on Kakeroma Island in the Amami Islands of Kagoshima Prefecture. With its shallow waters and crystal-clear visibility, this beach is a safe place for families with children to enjoy swimming. Featuring white sand and an emerald-blue sea, it is a quiet, hidden gem where you can fully savor the beauty of “Amami Blue.” The beach is equipped with new restrooms, showers, and changing rooms, ensuring a comfortable experience.
Why is Sachikatsu Beach so popular and how to enjoy it?
The reason Saki-katsu Beach is so popular is that it’s spacious and rarely crowded, allowing visitors to relax as if they were on a private beach. The shallow, crystal-clear waters are perfect for snorkeling, seaside strolls, and observing tropical fish in the shallows. With gentle waves, families with young children can enjoy the beach with peace of mind.
Sitting on the beach in the quiet environment, reading a book while listening to the sound of the waves and relaxing is truly island time. On sunny days, the sun's rays reflect off the surface of the water, making the ocean sparkle and creating a photogenic scene that makes you want to point your camera at it.
Compared to other beaches on Kakeroma Island, it’s easily accessible—about a 15-minute drive from Seiso Port and about 25 minutes from Ikuma Port—making it easy to incorporate into a sightseeing itinerary, which is one of its attractions.
