| Zamami Islands. Take a ferry from Naha and two hours later no bases and lots of beaches and scuba driving. |

| I second that. Zamami is a small out of the way island that offers nice beaches, good snorkeling, great seafood and friendly locals. Its an easy trip from the main island, which i might add has no worthwhile beaches. |

| Plenty of lovely islands resembling paradise a short ferry ride fro Naha. Don't be too shocked when you arrive in Naha (it looks like it's still being built). |

Just because you didn't find them doesn't mean they aren't there. Went to a nice one near Nago, another pretty one on Sesoko-jima (accessible by car from the mainland) as well on Ike-jima (accessible via a causeway). Some of those were pay beaches. I recommend a trip to Minna-jima too, very beautiful. |
