Higashihenna Cape

Higashi-hennazaki is a narrow limestone cape at the eastern end of Miyakojima, projecting into the Pacific. Wind and salt shape the low plants that cling to its exposed surface, while sea cliffs descend to the reefs. Great blocks of Ryūkyū limestone lie below the northern side, fallen from the cliffs and worn by waves. Around the cape the pale rock meets the warm sea of the southern islands.
