Adjacent to Kitadaito's working harbor, Port Side Beach is a delightful, albeit compact, sandy respite. While not a sprawling expanse, its charm lies in its accessibility and the calm, clear water it offers. It's a place where local life unfolds around you, with fishing boats bobbing gently in the distance, adding a touch of authentic island character to your beach experience.
