The Uminchu Wharf facility maintains the fisheries around the region and offers everything from souvenir shops, restaurants that sell the best seafood in town and a tourist desk where you can get information on boat rides, tours and activities like snorkelling and diving. For casual visitors who love the coast life, the place is one of the best stops to taste good food, enjoy the view of the harbour (especially during sunset) and simply unwind after a long day of sightseeing. A walk at the marina is just as refreshing with the docked boats and yachts forming a beautiful view against the shimmering water and if you are in the mood for visiting the nearby islands, you might just get a good deal on boat rides at the centre.

• Timings of individual attractions, shops and eateries around the wharf vary.

• By Bus: Hilton-Okinawachatan-Resort
