Father was stationed in Okinawa for 3 years, I remember visits to Okuma beach and just enjoying the clear water. I didn’t know that it wasn’t normal to see such clear water in the ocean like that until I grew up. I miss it more than anything and need to visit again

[@ryne1625]

"I can't get over how clear the water is". Yeah, had the same experience. I usually hate dirty seawater, but when I saw clear blue water like this, I jumped right in. It's clear water like a swimming pool

[@Naokarma]

I really don't understand where y'all are going where the water isn't clear, unless you're looking at a lake, specifically.

[@overlord3083]

@@Naokarma sea is dirty in some places coz 1. Ships sail near sea cities if they got port 2. People drop garbage in sea, well it reaply depends on if ppl care or not and they dont in my country thats why i hate going to sea here

[@Naokarma]

@@overlord3083 I just haven't seen it anywhere nearly as bad as people are acting like. I've been to 4 or 5 beaches over my life so far, and every single one was perfectly clear. Been to Hawaii once, and I live relatively near the coast where I live, so I've been to about 3 different major beach areas thanks to that, and never did any look even remotely cloudy. I could imagine if there was a major city right next door that was big on production of some form (extremely general statement, I know), but that isn't even close to the majority of beaches. I guess what I'm saying is I'm surprised literally everyone says the same thing when they're used to what should be the minority, not the majority, of beaches.

[@ryne1625]

@@Naokarma believe it or not, most beaches are dirty af. Crystal clear water usually occurs only occurs on islands, etc. Overlord did a good job explaining. Sometimes it's just natural colour, or even sand. Perhaps you've been to more island beaches, not regular ones?

[@Naokarma]

@@ryne1625 I was purely talking about cleanliness, not the situational color. The only island beach I've been to was on a Hawaii trip like 15 years ago. Most of the time, it's the northern west coast California. Been to a mix of sandy and rocky beaches along the coast line. Again, I know there are plenty of very dirty beaches, but the way people act makes me feel like they think every single beach is 1 step away from being mud, and I really don't get that level of surprise in their response.

[@sebatoo]

Probably unwanted advice but I might as well mention it. I’m pretty sure the reason the highlights are blown out is because HDR is turned on by default for iPhone video, which looks like this when exported normally. You can toggle it off in the camera ‘record video’ settings. Hope this helps! Great video!

probably someone else said so already but actually the good thing about Okinawa is that its subtropical so even in the mids of summer its much more bearable then Tokyo and even in Winter it is hardly ever below 15 degree. Had a few nights around 10 degree in January when I stayed on Okinawa while on working holiday but the locals already said it was unusual cold.... some days I could actually swim in the Ocean in January even though beach season only opens up in March or May ? something with M ^^V

Shirahama in Wakayama prefecture got white sand beach....Most of the original sand got washed away because of typhoons though but when your city name is literally Shirahama you gotta keep the appearances, so they shipped in sand from Australia. Btw. Okinawa is hot in the summer but not more than Tokyo...and you get sea breeze, so it's much better to be in Oki than in some bigass city. Respectfully, a former resident of Okinawa who moved to Kyoto:)
