Yakengahama

Shops describe very complex terrain here, with two or three arches of different sizes and channels that allow many route choices. Further out, about 150 m from shore, a broad area of rippled white sand at around 15 m looks striking on clear days. Anemonefish spots are common, and angelfish such as rentenyakko are seen regularly. The rocky entry has large steps that are awkward with a tank, which keeps the site less busy than its neighbours.
