Prepare for the beach with street food and beach gear shopping

About this spot

Extending about 360 meters from just outside the east exit of Kamakura Station toward Tsurugaoka Hachimangu, this is the classic route for Kamakura sightseeing. In addition to street food like rice crackers, dumplings, and soft-serve ice cream, in summer many shops display flotation rings and flip-flops, making it convenient for beach gear shopping. Early morning hours are relatively uncrowded, making it easy for families with children to stroll. Fill up on snacks and start your Kamakura day heading toward the sea.

Season & hours

Name: 由比ヶ浜海水浴場

Date & time: 7/1 (Wed)–8/31 (Mon) 9:00–17:00

Venue: 鎌倉市・由比ヶ浜海水浴場

鎌倉駅からもっとも近い海水浴場で、2026年は7月1日(水)から8月31日(月)まで開設。遊泳時間は9時から17時までです。遠浅で波が穏やかな約900mの砂浜はライフガードが常駐し、AIカメラによる離岸流の自動検知も導入されるなど、家族連れへの気配りが行き届いています。水質や安全管理などの国際環境認証「ブルーフラッグ」を掲げる、日本を代表するビーチのひとつ。砂浜には海の家が立ち並び、食事や休憩、温水シャワーも利用できます。波打ち際の水遊びから砂のお城づくりまで、夕方まで思いきり夏を満喫しましょう。

Tips

長谷駅または和田塚駅から徒歩5分ほど。遊泳は無料で、海の家の休憩やシャワーは有料です。夏の砂浜は熱いのでビーチサンダル必携。日差し対策にパラソルやテントのレンタルも活用を。遊泳時間は17時までなので、着替えの時間も見込んで15分前には切り上げるのがおすすめ。混雑する週末は午後の方が駐車場が動きやすいものの、公共交通機関の利用が安心です。

Tips

1-minute walk from Kamakura Station east exit. Summer afternoons get crowded, so shopping and street food are best done in the morning. Leave bulky souvenirs in a station coin locker to travel light to the beach.

Best time to visit

Approximately 1 hour required. The 10 a.m. hour right after opening is easy to walk and recommended
