Fusaki Beach
フサキビーチ24°22′ N 124°07′ EBeachJellyfish net in season
Fusaki Beach runs about 1 km in front of Fusaki Beach Resort west of Ishigaki town, with lifeguards over a netted swim area beside its photogenic pier, and it stays open all year, from 9:00 to 17:00 in winter. It faces west for sunset.
The beach runs about 1 km in front of the resort, and its pier out over the water draws the cameras. The resort nets the swim area against habu-kurage box jellyfish and checks it each morning and through the day, and its staff train in CPR twice a year.
Low spring tides drain the shallows, so the resort posts a low-tide schedule and pauses some activities. The beach keeps going through winter on shorter hours.
Before you swim
- Habu-kurage box jellyfish: the swim area is netted and checked each morning and during the day
- Very low spring tides can make the water too shallow to swim
- Strong wind or waves can carry jellyfish over the net
