Chatan

Just north of Naha, Chatan is popular with visitors looking to get out of Naha while still having good access to the rest of the island. Check out the shopping and eateries in Mihama American Village, or join the locals at Sunset and Araha beaches to relax and play in the calm seas. A popular spot for scuba divers and snorkelers, travelers often stay at the Hilton Okinawa Chatan Resort or the Beach Tower.
