Hamabe no Chaya - The Iconic Ocean-Framed Cafe
This is arguably the most famous cafe in Southern Okinawa, and for good reason. The rustic wooden windows frame the sea like a living piece of art. As your host, my best advice is to check the tide schedule before you go. Visiting during high tide brings the gentle waves right up to the building, while low tide reveals a beautiful, quiet beach perfect for a stroll. It is a highly popular spot, so I strongly recommend visiting early on a weekday morning to secure the coveted window seats. Order their original blend coffee, listen to the waves, and experience true “Okinawa Time. Pro tip: If the wait for a table is too long, you can order your drinks for take-out and enjoy them right on the quiet beach below the cafe!
