We packed up the Jimny this weekend after diving, and set out to beach camp on one of Okinawa’s outer islands. Ikei {remember this beautiful place?} is a small island with a small population {I think only one village?} with nearly all farmland and rugged coastline. You have to cross a cute red bridge from Miyagi island to get out to it, and when you do, the narrow road weaves along the inlets and coves until you hit farms. Somewhere in the farmland we found a narrow overgrown path:
that led to this:
This turned out to be the best site we’ve ever camped at together. It was so peaceful being on the beach with just the sound of crashing waves and the ocean breeze through the trees. And then came the dazzling stars and night sky. We laid in the sand around our campfire and stared in awe of our Great God. We stayed up late talking and making s’mores around the huge campfire Cam built.
There’s our Meaghan Leister gifted picnic wine carrier again that we bring everywhere with us!
Turquoise sea glass is my favorite to collect.
Cam laughed at me for bringing sparkling water to camp, but I say, why not!?
LisaC says
That looks like the BEST kind of camping! Gorgeous!
Leanne says
I believe that is called "glamping!" Love your blog and photographs!

The first 2 photos remind me a lot of Gabon. There are so many of those roads leading to deserted beaches. Unfortunately, it's not really safe enough to be out there alone let alone camp. I'd love to though – especially when the sea turtles come ashore to lay their eggs!

I LOVE camping, although I start to crave a shower after a few days if it's so remote that there isn't one available. This looks incredible and insanely romantic ๐

My husband and I just went camping for the first time last month and now, I want to do more! So much fun sleeping in a tent together. ๐
Sheila@TheFailteHouse says
This looks like an amazing trip! I have been camping and would love to go again!
Bridget says
camping on a random beach BY YOURSELF? that's crazy cool. i LOVE camping but do it at stupid (at least now, since seeing your camping set up) state parks.
Pamela says
Gorgeous pictures! Love the sea glass! Looks like a fun camping trip ๐
Dancing Branflake says
I adore this! I love the beach and sleeping by it would be amazing. And sea glass? Why does my heart skip a beat whenever I see it?
Anonymous says
I have the sea glass you sent me on my computer right now! I seriously look at it 10 times a day and think about you guys 8 of those times (the other 2 I completely space out and am probably thinking about what we'll eat for dinner and if wine will be involved…)
Love that you guys have turned into natives that camp solo on a deserted beach and traipse through the jungle. When you start talking to Wilson-type volleyballs we might need to get you back to the mainland for a month ๐
LOVE YOU! lanneybear
Lauren says
Ummmm, now that's what I call a campsite!!!!! ๐
Chris Romano says
