THIS IS...the ULTIMATE beach scene. One of the best definitions of the "beauty of a beach" I have seen in many decades. How many of your viewers will empty their desk or cubicle space, time out and seek the beauty of a beach lifestyle. Congratulations on your photography; everything, and I mean everything, is absolutely perfect.

OKINAWA ! Maeda Flats - Gun Cave Beach
THE PERFECT BEACH FOR A LIFESTYLE...
OKINAWA ! Maeda Flats - Gun Cave Beach
From the bluff, looking northeast over the Gun Cave Beach. An overcast December day, 2006. Two of my three daughters looking up from below. At the water's edge, two skin divers adjusting their flippers before floating out over the pools filled with tropical wonders. The beach below has a 100-yard shoreline.
Floating on the hazy horizon, and just touching the left frame line of the image, you will see a very small triangle formation (probably easier to see with the ALL SIZES button). That is the center peak of the small island of IE JIMA, where the American war correspondent ERNIE PYLE was killed during the WW2 Battle of Okinawa. It is a 30 minute ferry ride from Motubu Peninsula (also seen on the Horizon above and beyond the sea-rocks in the photo).
"Maeda Flats" is the long-standing American name for this shallow, blue and green coral reef along the East China Sea just south of Maeda Point. It is only about 20-30 minutes north of Kadena Air Base, depending on the traffic, or the route you take to get here. For us, it's a little closer, being about 10-15 minutes from home.
The Flats are faced with a half-mile stretch of several hidden coves and "private" beaches like this one, all separated by narrow walls of high, coral outcroppings such as the one I am standing on to take this picture. On the other side of the rock wall seen at the far end of this beach, there is another hidden beach as just like this one, and more beyond that. There are even a few behind me.
