Comments:

- the best route for sunset run

- no traffic light all the way, mainly on seaside promenade or beachside path

- passing by 2 beautiful beaches - Sunset Beach & Araba Beach

- stay at one of the hotels in American Village, and just walk out and start your run.

- a vibrant area in Okinawa with lots of foreigners especially Americans.

start point of my run, my hotel on the left

best sunset spot all the way along this route

passing by the vibrant seaside restaurant path

enter Sunset Beach with sandy path

Sunset Beach is where you'd better stop and take a priceless picture

after Sunset Beach, continue to go southwards entering a quiet promenade

this section is quite dark after sunset and beware of cats also walking on the ground

after the quiet path, cross the bridge and continue to Araba Beach

Araba Beach is a long and calm beach with wide beachside path

return after reaching the end of Araba Beach, with nightview of American Village

Its' completely dark when arriving to finish point. What a beautiful sunset run!
