Uninhabited Island (Hanale Island)

渡嘉敷島の無人島ハナレ島

The uninhabited Island “Hanale jima” is seen about 1 km away from Aharen Beach. (Some people call it “Hanali jima”.) It’s located on offing of  Aharen Beach so that the transparency of the water is definitely high!  It is an amazing point for introductory diving and snorkeling.
