The Day in Zushi

Last Saturday, John and I decided to check out Zushi beach. Zushi is only three train stops from Yokosuka. We didn't go there last summer because we were warned the beach had "too many Americans," which, is kind of a lame reason to avoid someplace. We usually go to Enoshima beach, which is about an hour from Yokosuka and is littered with quaint beach bars, open air eateries, and expansive decks filled with sun chairs for paying customers.

Zushi was much calmer (crowd wise) than Enoshima. Bars were not strewn as far as the eye could see. As a matter of fact, there was almost no development directly on the part of the beach we visited. There were plenty of Americans, but also lots of Japanese out enjoying the sun. We brought food and drinks and had a great time spending the day at the beach. One of friends did inform us that small tents open in the hot summer months to sell drinks and food. We didn't see any of them this trip, though.

John catches some sun.

It was green and hilly all around the beach.
