Well here it is August already. True to the typical lifestyle on the island at this time of year, the first thing out of almost everyone’s mouth is how hot it is. It’s not that the actual heat is so bad, but the humidity can make life on Okinawa extremely unpleasant at this time of year. However, the sunny skies make spending some time at the beaches in the late afternoon can make life a little more bearable. So if you visit the island at this time of year and get the chance, go spend a few hours having a pleasant late afternoon on a West coast beach and watch one the colorful and relaxing sunsets.
