Waterfall Safety and Common Sense

The Sesoko Beach Waterfall is an informal name that I’m giving to this small waterfall that I just so happened to have stumbled upon while exploring Sesoko Beach.

I actually can’t tell if this is a man-modified waterfall or an artificially-created one because it’s situated beneath the outer boundary of the Hilton Okinawa Sesoko Resort (where we happened to be staying at the time of this visit).

Thus, it could very well be runoff from the resort, which would render this waterfall to be non-natural.

Nevertheless, it certainly did seem to have some interesting natural formations around it including its drainage.

As a result, it’s this ambiguous aspect of whether the runoff is natural and enhanced by the outflow of the Hilton resort, or if it’s entirely man-made altogether, or if it just happens to be natural altogether.

Indeed, flanking this diminutive waterfall (which I’m guessing is no more than 5m) were some sea caves, which I’d imagine might be under water at times of high tide or during storms.

As for how to witness this waterfall, we merely walked about 200m through the pool and garden area of the Hilton Okinawa Sesoko Resort towards the Sisuco Grill.

From there, we encountered a public road sloping downwards to the northern end of Sesoko Beach, and it’s this stretch of the beach that most people seemed to be content to chill out at.

However, I did some further exploration to the north in the direction of some interesting rock formations, which wound up including sea caves.

And that’s when I happened to stumble upon the Sesoko Beach Waterfall after about another 200m from entering the Sesoko Beach.

This was about 400m from the exit near the All Day Dining Hall in the Hilton Okinawa Sesoko Resort (and it’s about the same distance from the public car park for Sesoko Beach).

Overall, I spent about 50 very leisurely minutes for this excursion though one can very easily linger longer at the beach (waterfall notwithstanding).
