A nice Camps Bay Beach image:
TWO MOUNTAINS ACROSS THE SEA THROUGH A HOLE IN A ROCK ON SESOKO ISLAND
Image by Okinawa Soba (Rob)
I’m facing south-southwest, and looking across NAGO BAY from a hole in the rocks along the east coast of SESOKO ISLAND.
10 miles away (16 kilometers) are those two prominent peaks on U.S. Marine Corps Base CAMP SCHWAB.
I hate to say this, but both the Okinawans and Japanese are always confused when it comes to naming these peaks on the very few maps that do name them — and most maps do not name the peaks, because the map-makers are at a loss.
So, at the risk of coming across as an arrogant, intrusive, know-it-all foreigner, I’m more than happy to help out the locals. So, here you go :
Regardless of whatever any Japanese map might say, the peak on the right is MT. KANNA. The peak on the left is MT. YAKWAN.
Between them on the other side, the KANNA RIVER flows down to the KANNA DAM, and below the dam the river then runs into the PHILIPPINE SEA by going under the ROUTE 329 BRIDGE that’s next to the KANNA FARMER’S MARKET & REST STOP that hosts the weekend KANNA FLEA MARKET.
On this side of the island, the river that forms between them is the NAKAMA-FUKUCHI RIVER, which runs into the East China Sea at INBU BEACH (also called KARIYUSHI BEACH or NAKAMA BEACH) which is just below the KARIYUSHI HOTEL, and right behind the HAPPY SCIENCE RELIGIOUS RESORT CENTER.

After re-reading what I just wrote, I realized I have a severe case of ARS (Anal Retentive syndrome)… and my wife said, "Nobody but you would want to know or even care about anything you just said".
Yeah. OK. I need to loosen up, and go to a Hostess Bar for a few hours.
But before I go, here’s a little context for my "Hole in the Rock" shot above — just another pretty, un-mapped, hidden beach along the shores of SESOKO ISLAND, with no signs to get you there.
