In the 1950s this was the shore where the "sun tribe" youths depicted in Shintaro Ishihara's Season of the Sun gathered.

Opened in 1971, this was a forerunner of Japan's marine resorts. Its palm-lined avenue and white resort apartment blocks were called "Japan's Miami" and became a symbol of the bubble-era Shonan lifestyle. Until the early 2000s, summer open-air concerts were a seasonal fixture here.
