Going to Miyakojima in a few weeks! Looking for things to do!

Hey everyone,

I’m going to Miyakojima for a few days in mid-July and I’m looking for advice on what to do while I’m there. I’m mostly interested in the best beaches, nature spots, scenic views, snorkeling areas, and any cool places that are worth seeing.

One important detail: I wasn’t able to get a driver’s license/IDP sorted out in time, so I won’t be renting a scooter or car. I’ll mainly be getting around by electric-assist bicycle, walking, and maybe taxis/tours if needed.

I’m staying around the Shigira area, so I’d especially appreciate advice on what’s realistic from there without a car, but I'm also not a stranger to long bike rides. Are there good beaches or nature spots nearby? Are there any places that are worth making a bigger effort to reach by taxi or tour?

Also open to food recommendations, sunset spots, snorkeling advice, or anything you wish you knew before visiting Miyakojima.

Thanks!
