Famous for its sunny beaches and natural wonders, Miyako Island welcomes many visitors during holidays.
Scuba diving
Miyako Island is for diving(潜水), with a wealth of dive sites to explore, including many underwater caves. Even those without a diving license can have a try. Dive shops and tour operators also offer tours for beginners to explore Miyako Island’s underwater environment.
Snorkeling(浮潜)
Snorkeling is a must-try in Miyako Island. Plenty of space to dive close to the shore is a standout feature. For beginners, Aragusuku and Shigira are a good choice but advanced snorkelers may see Imgyo Marine Garden, Waiwai Beach and Shimojishima as their favorite spots.
The bridges
Irabu Bridge is the longest toll-free bridge in Japan. It connects Miyako Island and Irabujima, stretching for 3540m. Smaller bridges connect Irabu and Shimoji islands, giving visitors additional beach options. On Shimoji Island, there is a boardwalk around Tooriike and two dramatic marine ponds connected to each other.
Unique beaches
Yonaha Maehama Beach is the most famous beach in Miyako Island, where white sand stretches for seven kilometers. Sunayama Beach, known for its arch-shaped rock, is hidden in a small cove(湾), and one has to walk through lines of trees to get there.

【推荐2】Some of the Most Beautiful National Parks in the UK
Snowdonia
North Wales’s national park boasts mountain and sea views: Several of its peaks gaze across to Ireland and it has miles of sandy beaches. You can climb Wales’s highest mountain without working up a sweat by catching an old-fashioned train. Those who dislike excitement can choose zip lines, bounce down mountain bike trails or catch breaks at an inland surfing.
Cairngorms
The UK’s biggest national park is home to its mightiest mountains: Five out of six of Scotland’s highest peaks are found here. Lying in the heart of the Highlands, the Cairngorms mountain range still has vast areas of pure wilderness and is one of the chilliest places in the country. For much of the year, its peaks are blanketed in snow and you can ski there in winter.
Peak District
Sandwiched between Manchester and Sheffield, England’s oldest national park has two personalities: A tough and a gentle side. In the north are dramatic edges like Kinder Scout which rewards adventurous walkers with stark (荒凉的) views. Venture south for the lower, greener, grass-covered valleys of the White Peak. Walk along the Ecclesbourne Valley to experience both in one day.
New Forest
The New Forest is surprisingly old: William the Conqueror named it when he used to hunt deer and wild pigs here nearly 1, 000 years ago. Confusingly, this beautiful corner of southern England isn’t completely covered in woodland either—it also has acres of wild land and miles of pebbly (布满鹅卵石的), muddy coast. The terrain is gentle, and you’re guaranteed a sighting of its free-walking horses.
