The Ama Beach Campground
The village-run campground on Zamami Island is located right next to the beautiful Ama Beach in the Ama Hamlet. Ama is a flat, gorgeous, approximately 20-minute walk along the water. There is also a bus that goes from the port to Ama for 300 yen per person (adult).
The campground is next to Ama Beach. While Ama Beach has less coral immediately upon entering the water as compared to Furuzamami Beach, its main attraction is the sea turtles that frequent the shallow waters along the beach (especially during high tide). Ama Beach presents visitors with picturesque tropical views from its white sands.
The campground has a base fee of 500 yen per person per night to use the facilities (shower, toilets, community kitchen, etc.) Camping gear is also available for rental as follows:
- Small Tent (1 person) 1000 yen per night
- Medium Tent (2-3 people) 2000 yen per night
- Large Tent (4-5 people) 2500 yen per night
- Sleeping Bag (500 yen per night)
- Sleeping Mat (300 yen per night)
- Large Charcoal Grill (5-8 people) 2000 yen per day
- Small Charcoal Grill (2-4 people) 1000 yen per day
There is also a place to charge electronic devices and check baggage.
The campground only accepts reservations by telephone. 098-987-3259
