Sea Glass Beach

A beautiful location to set up for a day of exploring. Shells and sea glass are in abundance and kids and adults alike are sure to have fun finding treasures. Visiting during low tides allows your to go along the beach further and explore more areas and sea life. **For some reason I cannot find a picture of our sea glass collection-will have to load that later but it is A LOT**

Directions taken from http://okinawahai.com/sea-glass-beach/ and they are spot on.
Directions:

• Take the expressway towards Nago
• Get off at exit 9
• Take the first left heading towards 329 (once on that road there will be a big silver dome on your right)
• Take a left onto 329
• Drive until you see the second 13 and take a right onto it. (it will be just after the College of Technology)
• Take a right just before the “y” in the road and go down a hill
• Take a left at the light (there is a gas station at that light)
• Drive on that road until you come upon a huge house with a red tower-like roof
• Take a left onto the gravel road directly across from the house
• Drive straight down the gravel road. You will come to a “y.” Here, you will turn right.  There will be a a sign (all in Japanese) that leads to the path down to the beach.

Updates...

Things have been a bit crazy lately, but rest assured I will be updating more parks that we have explored and fell in love with, just may need some extra time to find pictures and location links.
