Cape Zanpa - Crashing Waves can Bring Tranquility Too

🌊🌅🐋 Standing on the edge of the rugged cliffs, feeling the powerful sea breeze, and watching the waves crash against the rocks—it’s an experience that always leaves me in awe. The Cape Zanpa Lighthouse is the perfect spot for a panoramic view of the endless ocean, especially at sunset when the sky turns into a masterpiece of warm colors.

One thing I love about Cape Zanpa is how peaceful it feels despite being a popular spot. Whether I’m taking a quiet walk along the cliffs or just sitting and listening to the waves, it’s the kind of place that lets you slow down and take in the beauty of nature.

Best time to visit: Sunset is magical here, but if you prefer fewer crowds, go in the morning.

What to bring: A hat and sunscreen—the sun can be intense. And if you love photography, bring a camera! The scenery is incredible.

Whale spotting: From December to April, humpback whales migrate through Okinawa’s waters. Bring binoculars and watch from the lighthouse or the cliff edges for a chance to see them breaching in the distance. Early mornings or late afternoons offer the best visibility.

If you’re looking for a place to unwind, take in Okinawa’s coastal beauty, and maybe even spot a whale, Cape Zanpa is a must-visit.
