In Summer be prepared...

by okinawa_wave

Don't over pack as most restaurants are casual and shorts and t-shirts are allowed. Beach sandals, which are known locally as "shimazori."Light clothing. A hat to protect your head from the sun.Swim wear Plenty of sunscreen....The stuff is expensive in Okinawa!If you are budget traveling, definitely bring mosquito repellant and mosquito coils! Enough memory cards. Light tent Snorkeling is popular but if you're joining a tour, a mask, fins, and snorkel are provided. If you are going to snorkel everyday and know where to go, bring your own gear. If not, it is best to join a tour.

Sun and Rain

The typhoon season in Okinawa is from May to November so that means lot of rain when the sun is not out shining. make sure to bring a rain gear like an umbrella or winbreaker. During summer months of June to September I recommend you put lot of sunscnreen because the sun can be very intense here.
