Shichirigahama Coast (七里ヶ浜)
Timeless Beauty: Kamakura’s Hidden Treasure, Shichirigahama Beach
Shichirigahama is a beautiful coast in Kamakura City facing Sagami Bay, known for its approximately 2.9 km expanse, and is celebrated as one of Japan’s 100 remarkable beaches. The origin of its name comes from an interesting story related to old measurement units, but recently, a new interpretation based on the distance between Tsurugaoka Hachimangu and Koshigoe has been proposed. Surrounded by marine cliffs, it has complex waves suitable for surfing but not for swimming due to its lack of shallowness. Once developed as a resort area, Shichirigahama, with its natural beauty and historical background, offers visitors a unique experience, making it a special representation of Kamakura.
