Fusaki Beach
Located just behind the Fusaki Resort Village is Fusaki beach. Fusaki beach is much like Maezato beach in that, despite being located behind a hotel, it is free to use for patrons and non-patrons alike. This is one of the safest places to swim on Ishigaki island as nets are put in place to protect swimmers from jellyfish. The downside is that swimmers must stick to a relatively confined area, but most people will find the space provided to be more than ample. In addition, parents are likely to feel far more at ease with allowing their children to swim here than at some of Ishigaki's more adventurous spots. Shower facilities are also available.
An attractive pier extends from the left side of the beach into the ocean, and this offers an ideal spot to enjoy views of the surrounding islands. Indeed, in terms of scenery, Fusaki is one of the better beaches on the island as one can enjoy views of the islands of Kohama and Iriomote, and sunsets at this spot can be particularly impressive.The fact that this beach is primarily used by hotel patrons means that, much like the one at Maezato, it is kept in pristine condition. The quality of sand is also very good, being fine and well suited to beach activities.
Facilities
Fusaki Resort Village offers visitors the option of using its hot shower facilities for a charge of ¥300 per person. The handy thing about this is that the fee also includes the use of towels. Alternatively the poolside cold showers can be used for free.
Water sports
Those of you wishing to take part in some water sports will find that there are many activities on offer such as sea kayaks and pedal boats which can be rented for around ¥2000 an hour. The more adventurous among you may wish to try your hand at wakeboarding or jet skiing at a price of ¥4000 / ¥3000 respectively for a 15 minute experience.
