Shakadōguchi Pass in Kamakura, Jōmyōji side. It was not one of Kamakura's Seven Passes, but because it was important and it's still spectacular to behold, I include it. Sometimes it is wrongly considered one of the seven.

Shichiri-ga-hama Beach is a popular spot for surfers and bbq picnics, although not so much for swimmers due to the lack of shower facilities. But I like it because there are less people here compared to other beaches along the shoreline. It is located along the Sagami Bay and is also a popular place to view Mt Fuji, which can be seen looming just beyond the shoreline. Closest Station: Shichirigahama Station on the Enoden Line. #BeachBound
