THE BLUE CAVE - ISHIGAKI ISLAND

The blue color of the water changes according to the weather, the seasons, the tides or the lightness. The blue cave is located 5 minutes by car from the house in Yonehara direction. From the parking space it will take a 5-10 minutes walk to the beach. At low tide you will be able to walk to the cave. At high tide you should swim (sometimes you can directly swim in). After visiting the cave, it's possible to enjoy a great snorkeling starting right from the front of it.
Currents: be careful if it's wavy
