Everything here starts from the sand, which suits anyone who gets seasick, and the guides are Ishigaki locals who keep groups small. Yonehara sits inside the national park, and the shop's rental sets are for that beach only. On the kayak trip the day's rental gear stays with you, so you can swim at Yonehara before or after.
In season the shop sells snacks too, and its Yaeyama soba and soft-bone soki rice bowl are the ones to order. Parking is free.
