Enjoy the Beautiful Beaches of Iki Island!

Enjoy Natural White Sand Beaches
The beaches of Iki Island feature natural white sand. Iki Island belongs to Nagasaki Prefecture in Kyushu. Nevertheless, natural white sand beaches are rarely seen in Kyushu. The white sand of Iki Island has been formed by seashells. This means it is smooth to the extent it does not hurt even if you walk on it barefoot. There are more than 30 beaches dotted around the island. Please enjoy swimming in the ocean in a different atmosphere at each.
