Exploring Okinawa

Hey everyone! Me and my girlfriend have just completed 2 weeks around mainland Japan and are now experiencing Okinawa for one week. So far we’ve been to American town, and honestly found it quite underwhelming. Can anyone recommend us some good, non touristy spots we don’t need to pay? Was shocked when we went to a beach today and needed to pay $30 to enter… my birthday is in a few days so would be awesome to know of some cool hidden gems that any locals can recommend, and or fun activities/ destinations, thanks
