Ocean Fun Fest 2026 Miyakojima: Beach Sports Festival

About this event

Over two days on Saturday, December 12 and Sunday, December 13, 2026, 'Ocean Fun Fest 2026 Miyakojima ~Beach Sports Festival~' will take place at Yonaha Maehama Beach in Miyakojima City, Okinawa Prefecture, renowned for having the finest scenery in the Orient. Reaching its third year, this large-scale sports festival offers a rare opportunity to enjoy beach sports during the winter season when Miyakojima features relatively comfortable weather and fewer tourists. A diverse lineup of sports will be held, including beach volleyball (2-person, mixed 4-person, junior categories), beach soccer, beach rugby, frescobol, and a Tyrannosaurus race that went viral on social media. In particular, the 2-person beach volleyball tournament will run consecutively for two days in a King/Queen tournament format with an entry fee of 2,500 yen/day and total prize money of 180,000 yen/day. Beach soccer features children's and adult divisions as well as soccer volleyball, along with a planned beach sand training event for kids. Beach rugby uses tackle-free rules so beginners and women can participate safely. Frescobol, born in Brazil as a 'sport of caring,' offers a novel, accessible activity. Invited athletes, including former Japan national team members and top-ranked competitors across beach sports, are scheduled to participate, adding excitement to the event. In addition, exclusive discount package deals combining flights, hotels, and rental cars are offered for event participants. Through this celebration, the festival aims to provide an opportunity for many people to fall in love with Miyakojima.
