A very nice beach to hang out and swim. From Tokyo city, or districts like Shinjuku it takes you around 1,5 - 2 hours to get there. But it's worth it. You have a lot of options when it comes to restaurants or bars and a train station is not far away. So i really recommend this beach. A good time to go there is when the fireworks on the water take place, a verry stunning sight. But there are like 160000 people on that beach, so be sure to be one of the first persons to go to the train station or your way back to Tokyo city (if you have your stay there) might be a little trick, i experienced that. But over all it's a cool beach
It’s a regular nice beach. If you want to relax or take a swim come by but make sure to leave before 5:00pm because they turn off the water to the showers so you can rinse off. They open at 9:00am. Make sure not to leave food out or your things unattended because the crows will get it.
It's such an amazing place, you can just rent a resort room and walk to station or the beach
You may enjoy some water activities on appropriate season too!
Please note that ,there is limited restaurant nearby(unless you walk or take bus to the station )
Situated roughly 2.5 hours from central Tokyo, Kamakura’s Yuigahama Beach is a tranquil destination for anyone wanting to dip into the sea and recharge. While the setting is peaceful, summer visits can bring intense heat and high humidity. To make the most of your trip, check the local weather forecast in advance, pack an umbrella for shade, and carry plenty of water to stay well-hydrated throughout the day.
I was really pleasantly surprised by this small beach. Wasn’t even planning on going to the sea, but after visiting some of the shrines and temples, I just walked on till the end of the road and there it was.
It was very clean, no left behind garbage like you find on the European beaches everywhere. But I guess this is just Japanese culture that they take trash with them, wish people would do this over here as well. Also the sand is really nice and black coloured. The water was also very clean. I was there on a cloudy day, so there are mainly some surfers in the water and I had the beach more or less to myself.
I would highly recommend you give it a look after you have done your temple tours. But please be respectful and don’t act like tourists, this beach seems to be mostly frequented by the locals, so don’t get on their nerves by leaving your trash around or screaming loudly.
