Ikei Island
Ikei Island offers Okinawa's best east-coast waves, catching E-SE swells when the popular west-side breaks are blown out by onshore winds. The island is accessible by car via bridges, but getting to the surf requires a long paddle to the point—worth it for those who make the effort. The reef break works for all levels, with beautiful coastal scenery and significantly fewer crowds than Sunabe. Tide-dependent like all Okinawa breaks, with surfing limited to higher tides.
