MARINA
Want to have a beach day closer to home? Make Kadena Marina your convenient all-in-one beach day location and equipment provider! Like Okuma Beach, the Kadena Marina partners with its parent facility, Kadena Outdoor Rec, to assist in all the auxiliary services and enhancements your beach day could need. The raised shoreline of Kadena Marina boasts four pavilions with power and three water hook-ups. ODR can deliver their full line up of rentals to include portable propane and charcoal smokers, self-regulated games, bounce houses, and water slides. The beach volleyball area is a huge crowdpleaser for Unit events and is available for rent.
Through the Sea Shack at the Marina, beach-goers have a ton of great new options for endless water-play to include two brand new water trikes, kayaks, and paddleboards. Unit events can earn a discount on these rentals with advanced bookings, but most still prefer the fl exibility of hourly rentals.
Forgot a few of your beach must-haves? Masks, goggles, reef-safe sunblock, and felt-bottom boots are all available at a great price right there at the
Marina. Remember, Club members get discounts on select items! Call Kadena Marina at 966-7345 or 036-868-2228 to reserve a pavilion, and Kadena
ODR at 966-7343, or 036-868-2229 to reserve the items that will take your beach day to the next level.
Both locations provide the perfect backdrop for a beach day of your dreams. With the help of delivery and set-up, both Okuma and Kadena ODR can help you plan every detail of your day without the headache.
Considering having a Beach Day off base? Please keep these customs & expectations in mind:
Okinawa Beach Facts • No BBQ-ing in areas other than designated BBQ facilities/areas. • No drinking on the beach. • Most places do not have trash receptacles; it is customary to take your trash home with you.
Beaches / BBQs in Japan - Customs & Etiquette • Be respectful of other groups - don’t play your music too loudly or make a lot of noise, don’t shoot off rocket fi reworks, avoid violent fi ghts, and avoid getting too intoxicated and disrupting or harassing people outside of your group. • Trash should not be left behind unless trash bins are provided by the facility. Facilities with trash bins/areas may require the use of city, town, or village-issued trash bags. • Use eco-friendly soaps if you need to wash dishes, etc. • Many public places prohibit the use of fi re - such as charcoal fi re and bonfi res - or have rules on fi re use, so be sure to check for signs posted at the facility before fi ring up your grill.
