Aka Island’s Nishibama is a good fit for travelers who want a beach day to set the pace of an island visit. The sand stretches along the coast facing Zamami, and the beach is about a ten-minute ride from Aka Port by bicycle according to the tourism board. Showers and toilets let you change before heading back to the village. You can finish with the nearby observatory for a view of the neighboring islands if your ferry schedule leaves room.
