If you are in Kamakura, I highly recommend a walk down to the beach no matter what season it is. There is plenty to enjoy, including beach combing, watching the surfers and wind-surfers, beautiful sunsets, and lots of sand. Facing the water, you have (from left to right) Zaimoku-za Beach, Yuigahama Beach, and Hase Beach. Each has its own particular charms, and each beach is within walking distance of famous temples, great restaurants and everything else wonderful that Kamakura has to offer.

A Day at the Beach in Kamakura
Enjoy nature up close just 10 minutes from JR station
Community writer
Some people sail...
...and some people fish
Wind surfing is popular at Zaimokuza beach
A lot of people come down to the beach to enjoy the sunset
There is a lot of fishing nets, boats and gear on the beach
Relax with a stroll along the shoreline
Taking care of their windsurfing gear at the end of the day
It is a very long beach, shaped like a horseshoe
Lots of surfers, but not too many big waves
Sit and rest your feet for a few minutes
Everyone doing their own thing
