Sesoko Island (瀬底島, Japanese: Sesoko-jima, Okinawan: Shisuku-jima[1]) is a small island in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan.[2] Politically, the place is administered by the town of Motobu, which is a part of the Kunigami District in the northern Okinawa Islands.
It is a popular tourist destination due to its beaches. The island is accessible by car using the 762 meters long Sesoko Bridge.[3] Both Iejima and Minnajima can be seen from Sesoko, and coral reefs are located 500 meters offshore the coastline.[4]
