Āra Beach, Coastal beach in Kumejima, Japan.
The 600-meter stretch of white sand at Āra Beach extends along emerald waters, providing a natural setting for various water activities.
In 840 AD, local residents of Kumejima demonstrated their hospitality by rescuing passengers from a foreign vessel near the current location of Āra Beach.
The beach holds regular community gatherings where residents and visitors participate in traditional Okinawan beach activities and seasonal celebrations.
Visitors can access changing rooms, showers, coin lockers, and 118 free parking spaces, with the beach operating from April through October.
The adjacent Āra Park features a ship-shaped play structure called The Indian Oak, commemorating the historical rescue of a foreign vessel.
