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.
