Enoshima

Not really my kind of beach but since I have a special attachment to this place, I’m giving it a higher rating.
The beach area, will let’s just say I’m not interested BUT the other area where the temple and gorge are located is beautiful. The restaurant here served a really good seafood meal and not so pricey too.
Great place to relax although if you go in the summer, your peace and quiet might be ruined by insensitive jet skiers who felt that they have to make the loudest noise possible to get attention.
Be careful of the hawks/​birds flying around, not because they steal food but of falling objects from their butts.
It’s directly connected to Kamakura by train so maybe after touring Kamakura area, hop on the train and enjoy Enoshima.

— A must-​go if you are visiting Kamakura —
Enoshima is an island close to Kamakura. There’re trains that take you directly from kamakura to Enoshima (well, you still need to walk across the bridge for like 5 – 10 minutes).
There’re are quite a lot to do on the island for half day for sure. You can visit the Enoshima shrine, Samuel Cocking Garden, Iwaya Caves, Enoshima Daishi, Enoshima Island Spa, Love Bell, and enjoy some snacks/​food on the island!
This island is famous for Shirasudon (Shirasu Donburi), which is the general term for young, white fish that measure only about 1 cm. You can eat raw Shirasu in Enoshima all year long except January-​March, and I was there in January. so I didn’t get to taste it. However, they’ll always add some fried shirasu if you order some kind of chirashi (raw fish on rice).
I bought the Enoshima one day pass, so I got to use the elevators, enter the garden and cave many times. There are other passes that combine traffic options as well, so you need to do your homework before you travel to see which one fits your plan the best.
This island is also called «cat island,» and you can see some stray cats around the island. I brought cat treats on purpose, and one of the cat followed me for a while because I gave him food. xD!
Btw, there’s a lighting at night in the garden in January, so it was really romantic and pretty. Bring your lover here if you plan to travel around that time. Notice that time will be quite cold there, so make sure to bring extra jackets, so you can put a jacket on your lover like those cool guys do in drama (LOL).
