Okuma Beach Resort

Way up on the Northern part of Okinawa is a military resort called "Okuma". I have heard people ranting and raving about this place. It is sometimes hard to get is, so we got really lucky and were able to fit in one night there. They have cabins, campgrounds and condos for very reasonable prices and they are all very close to the water.
They also have just one private cabin (for couples only) with its own private beach. This is what we scored for the night! I was so excited! When you live on a little island a 30 minute drive seems to take forever, but it took almost 2 hours to make it to Okuma. It was certainly worth the trip!
The private cottage comes with the use of a golf cart, so we checked in, got our keys, then off we went to our secluded cottage. We were more than impressed.
It had it's own little locked gate and we could pull the golf cart up next to it.
The cabin was one room with a little bathroom and a TV. It had a porch with a fabulous view. No complaints here.
We had a nice little dinner at the restaurant on the grounds, then hung out on the front porch before heading to bed. In the morning all I wanted to do was this...
Here is a picture I took of John from the front porch so you could see out little beach area.
It was a short trip, but a much needed break from everything.
Since we were the furthest north we had ever been on the island, we decided to keep going up the Hedo Point, the northern most tip of the island.
I am certain these monuments mean something!
So now we are back home for a night before we head to the west coast! See you soon!
