One of my first adventures in Japan was to visit the Sarushima or Monkey Island. You can see this uninhabited island from Yokosuka Main Base. You can take a short ferry ride across the bay to the island from Mikasa Terminal in Mikasa Park. Here is the website: https://www.tryangle-web.com/en/sarushima/faq.html Please keep in mind this is a popular tourist site so if you can avoid Japanese holidays then you may find the adventure more relaxing. I would recommend no strollers because there are a lot of stairs but you can avoid them if you must bring one. I wish I had brought sand toys and a swimsuit for my toddler. She had so much fun playing on the beach. Currently (2021) there are some areas closed to the public due to COVID and weather damage and the beach is closed to swimming. You may still wade and splash in the water at the edge of the beach. Above you can see the view from one of the hiking trails on the island. The website says it is a: "former Japanese Army artillery and fortress marks, and the whole of Sarushima is designated as a “National Historic Site”. You can walk around these fortress areas. You can enjoy fishing and BBQ by watching the sea on the beach, and the island’s Take Out Restaurant “Sarushima Oceans Kitchen” all year round. You can also enjoy swimming in summer."
