What once required a two-hour boat ride from Okinawa's Katsuren Peninsula, a visit to 'Ichihanari,' or the 'farthest island,' now takes less than 30 minutes on the Kaichu Doro Causeway. The causeway connects Henza and Miyagi Islands before it reaches the farthest island, now known as Ikei, a must-see when visiting the area. Ikei Beach on the southwestern coast of the island is host to year-round swimming and water activities. This is a great spot for taking a ride on a banana boat, wakeboarding, flyboarding and more.
