A peninsula jutting out into the Pacific Ocean on the east coast of central Okinawa Island in Okinawa Prefecture. Part of Uruma City. It divides Kin Bay and Nakagusuku Bay. It is home to the American military base and the naval port of White Beach. The Nakagusuku Bay side has steep cliffs, while the Kin Bay side has gentle slopes, making both areas beautifully scenic. It produces travertine (a type of limestone), a building stone. Facing Nakagusuku Bay, are the ruins of Katsuren Castle (→Katsuren Gusuku), a nationally designated historic site and a registered World Heritage Site.
