[2025 Motobu ] Travel Guide for Gorilla Chop (Updated Aug)

#NaturalLandscape #100WaysToTravel Gorilla Chop is located next to the Saki Motobu Green Park. It is a shore diving hotspot near Sesoko Island on the coastline of Motobu Town. Next to it is the MCC Diving Center and Motobu Pier. There is a strange-shaped rock on the shore, which is named because it looks like a gorilla. If you get the angle right, it looks like a gorilla doing a karate chop! ? This is a paradise for snorkelers. The water is shallow but clear enough to easily see the beautiful underwater world. There are many coral reefs and tropical fish. Many people come here to snorkel or paddle, and there are also many families who come here to play in the water. The coast is picturesque and worth stopping. There is free parking, shower facilities (100 yen), toilets, and drink vending machines. It is really clean and convenient, and it is very comfortable even if you just walk along the beach. Oh, by the way, if you go there in spring, you will have a chance to see cherry blossoms. Can you enjoy cherry blossoms in Okinawa? Isn’t it amazing! #OkinawaStore #OkinawaAttractions #GorillaChop

Gorilla Chop in the northern part of Okinawa Island🦍✋ A natural rock that looks like a gorilla slapping its hands. Haha. It is a popular spot for local snorkelers and divers! 🏝️ The nearby sea water is super clear and transparent✨ There is a kind of blue that can only be seen in postcards💙 The scene is so beautiful that it makes people exclaim all the time And there are also a lot of fish species in that sea area~ It is suitable for snorkeling novices to play 🐠 Tips for taking photos (please keep them 📸) For the best shooting angle, it is recommended to walk to the end of the trail next to the parking lot. Shooting from a low position upwards can capture the gorilla's palm strike in its entirety📷 It is recommended to come in the morning or afternoon when the sun is not too glaring, the light and shadow are softer🌤️ If your trip includes northern Okinawa This place can really be lined up for about an hour to walk around and take a look Not only is it great for taking photos, but watching the sea is also really healing 🧘🏻♀️ It's not too far from the Churaumi Aquarium, so it's a good place to stop by 🚗💨 #GlobalTravel
