Last week me and my girlfriend took a trip to Shikinejima, one of the Izu-shoto islands. After a busy previous 2 weeks, I was looking forward to relaxing on the beach and drinking beer. I wasn't disappointed!!
A beauty of a beach, small and sheltered, the water was really clear and the snorkelling was good
The harbour was picture postcard with some of the most beautifully coloured sea I have ever seen
me and the missus getting some snorkel time in
This is the same beach, and my pick of the island. Absolutely gorgeous. The water here was as clear as I've ever seen sea water, lots of fish swimming around, the best snorkelling on the island
The island is famous for its natural onsen, which are free to use. You can actually see the water bubble up from the sand. As the tide ebbs and flows, the temperature of the baths change, go at low tide at your peril!!!
the beer is cold too

the 1st of 4 snakes I saw. I almost crapped my pants!! This was just on the road, the others that I saw were in the forest and moved very fast!!
