Review & FAQ:
Shichirigahama Beach is located in the Kanagawa prefecture near the city of Kamakura. On a clear day, it’s possible to catch a glimpse of both Enoshima and Mount Fuji at the same time. The dark sands of the beach are fairly rich in iron ore, which help Kamakura become a center for producing knives and swords. The beach’s name, “Shichirigahama,” means “Seven Ri Beach” in English, with the word “Ri” representing a unit of measurement. The floor of the waters drops quickly, so the beach isn’t as popular with travelers, but surfers can be found during any season.
