Mangrove forest of Gesashi Bay
Stretching over about 10 hectares at the mouth of the Gesashi River, this mangrove forest is the largest on Okinawa Island. Three types of mangrove thrive in the forest:
Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, Kandelia obovate, and
Rhizophora mucronata, or the Asiatic mangrove, which finds its northernmost habitat here. Visitors can enjoy a wooden path and canoe tours, and can observe the creatures of the mangrove forest and tidal flats.
