As you can see from the sanitary photographs, the entire beach is in-reef (coral reef area). The shallow water continues and the waves are calm.
Safe to bring children? Family-friendly facilities are available!
Zanami Beach is perfect for small children to play because of its shallow waters and gentle waves. Jellyfish nets have been installed to prevent jellyfish, so swimming is safe. During the open season (April to October), athletic facilities are also available for a fee. In addition, showers, toilets, and changing rooms are available, and there is a store in the beach area, so there is no need to take a break or have a snack.
How does the weather affect you? Be careful on windy days!
Zanami Beach has a relatively calm environment, but the waves can be high during the winter or when affected by typhoons. Visitors can enjoy beautiful ocean colors on sunny days, but on rainy days the water can become muddy, so it is recommended to check the weather before visiting.
