Okinawa Scenic Recommendation: Climb the Zanpa Cape Lighthouse for Stunning Ocean Views!

Zanpa Cape Lighthouse is located at the westernmost point of Okinawa's main island and is one of the few lighthouses in Okinawa open to the public for climbing. From the top, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the East China Sea and the dramatic cliffs. The sunset here is especially romantic. Nearby, you'll find Zanpa Beach and a giant Ryukyu warrior statue, making it a perfect spot for photography and leisurely walks!
