Kaiji Beach is a secluded stretch of sand located on the south western side of Taketomi Island. Although the beach is not equipped with shower or watersports facilities, it is still a popular destination for visitors. Tourists come to this beach to search for ‘star sand’, which are tiny star shaped crustacean remains that are just over 1millimeter wide. If you want to see this unique natural wonder and enjoy a quiet afternoon by the ocean, Kaiji Beach is the place to go.
