Like many other beaces on Okinawa the blue water is beautiful and inviting

The beach is a subtropical paradise getaway even though it is located within the popular Mihama American Village shopping district

Sunset Beach handles the crowds quite well.

It's still very warm beach weather here in Okinawa. The passing typhoon is making the water a bit choppy, though.
