17END beach on Shimojishima in Miyakojima Islands. Famous as a beach that appears at low tide. It is a beautiful blue beach even at high tide, but it transforms into a phantom beach where the beach appears at low tide.

The gradation of the sky that is clearly reflected on the mirror-like surface of the water.
