One of Okinawa’s most spectacular coastal areas is found at Channel Crevasses. Visibility reaches 150 feet or more. Nooks, crannies and rocks make a natural dwelling place for crab and lobster. Sea turtles lay their eggs in a protected area on the beach. Beyond the reef, you can see cones, turbans, augers and other shellfish. Beware of strong rip currents during extreme tidal changes.
