Kamakura (鎌倉) is a seaside town facing the Sagami bay (相模湾), part of the Pacific Ocean. It has nice beaches. The one in the photo is called Yuigahama beach (由比ヶ浜).
Kamakura is located 70 km to the southwest of Tokyo, and it takes just one hour from Shinjuku and 25 minutes from Yokohama by train.
It looks like a wealthy seaside suburb but it is much older than Tokyo and Yokohama; it had been the capital of Japan from 1185 to 1333. Consequently, it offers more than what it appears. Presence of tourists is an evidence. I suppose they did not come to Kamakura for surfing.
