Rollin...Rollin!

Biking is one thing great to do. You can either enjoy the scenery and get some much needed exercise. Today my wife and I took our bikes down the sea wall from Sunset Beach all the way down passing Araha Beach and all the way down to the 100 Yen store we usually go to. It is almost parallel to Camp Futenma.



The bike ride consist of strolling down and back is about 6 miles. Throughout the sea wall there are some things you need to be aware about. You will have to weave yourself around the walkers and runners. As well as looking out for fishermen and pet walkers. During this time we the sun was already about to set, so either have a glow strap or a vest. Also have a flashlight attachment on your bike because when the sun goes down. It gets really dark.





Today the weather was a little windy but typical because we were close to the ocean. Yet, the sunsets on this side of Okinawa, so if you are lucky you can find yourself looking at one. Also the waves were choppy and rough. Seeing the waves clash with the sea wall as the splashes hit about 8 feet in the air. So, it may seem bike rides are lame and boring. Well, stop talking and just go out there and see if for yourself. You'll be quite amazed.



But along the way you can also enjoy various graffiti or artwork. Just like this one of Sylvester Stallone right below. So overall biking is a must do but i am not forcing you to go. Just enjoy the fresh oceanaic air and overall nature.

Araha Beach, Okinawa, Japan

*Click on the photos to get a bigger view*


Araha Beach is one of many beaches in Okinawa. This one is located right outside a U.S. Marine Installation Camp Foster and the seawall reaches towards American Village. Along the beach there are some basketball courts, a Ship playground for the smaller kids and some covered picnic tables. Also, many come and go as they exercise on the pathway, either biking, running, jogging or even skate boarding. 



There are some recreation that some locals love doing like fishing, swimming during the hot season, snorkling or just cooling off in the water. Some just love to relax and enjoy the view, smelling the ocean breeze or the smell of the local vendors cooking down the street. 





As for my wife and I, we love the spectacular view of the sun setting over the horizon. As you can see in the photo above. These sunsets have a dramatic way of saying good night to this part of the world. Araha beach is a nice place to relax at during the cool season because not to many people venture towards the beaches. We do not like going to places that are crowded, we try to venture away from the populous and seek other beaches that are quiet and calm.
