    - Beautiful National Seashore beach

    Race Point Beach image
    Relax on sandy shores and hike dunes and grassland at this beautiful coastal stretch on the tip of Cape Cod. Spot seals sunbathing on the sandbars off the coast, and book a boat tour during the summer and fall months to see the whales that migrate through the area. Later in the day, head to the westernmost end of the beach to see the 200-year-old Race Point Lighthouse during sunset—in summer, the sun disappears right behind the lighthouse. There is ample parking nearby, and also restaurants and cafes in the area. – Tripadvisor See more..

    - One of our “Go-To” Beaches

    Nauset Beach image
    Nauset Beach is an absolutely beautiful place to spend a day. We’ve gone several times and have always seen many seals pretty close to shore. They’re fun to watch and don’t seem too bothered by humans. The beach is also a great place to beachcomb for interesting and colorful rocks if you’re into that. You won’t find shells here, but you will find a lot of nice stones, pebbles and rocks. The water is a little chilly for swimming and there are a fair amount of sharks around, but it’s great for wading. We certainly see people swimming, too. Nauset Beach is very large with plenty of room for long walks, or just relaxing away from the crowds. We always make it a point to spend some time on Nauset Beach when we’re on the Cape, and we recommend you do too! -The PowerTrippers See more..

  5. 4.5 Coast Guard Beach (634 reviews)
    - Great beach
    Beaches
    Coast Guard Beach image
    Part of the Cape Cod National Seashore, this coastal gem is a prime spot in summer. Many flock to surf and go boogie boarding, while sun worshippers strive to get the best tan. In summer, you have to pay a fee to access the beach—fees vary depending on your mode of transportation. Parking is not available at the beach, so either hike from Nauset Trail or take the shuttle from Little Creek instead. If you come during winter, you’re likely to spot harbor seals at the end of Nauset Spit or on the marsh. – Tripadvisor See more..
  6. 4.5 Seagull Beach (539 reviews)
    - Perfect day at Seagull Beach!

    After researching the local beaches near our hotel I decided on this one and I have to say I made a good choice! :) Arrived at 9:45am on a Saturday in July and there was still plenty of parking available. Parking is $20 (cash only) for non residents. We parked near to the building that houses the restrooms and snack bar as was suggested in TA reviews. From that area it's a quick, easy walk along a short boardwalk to a perfect spot in the sand. Water is calm and fairly warm. There wasn't too much seaweed although there are a lot of small shells along the shore line that you need to step over/around (or wear water shoes). Clean restrooms, outdoor shower, foot shower and a nice snack bar are available. If you're staying in this area this is the place to go! Especially good for families with children, couples, and seniors. See more..
  7. 4.5 Marconi Beach (536 reviews)
    - Great day at Marconi!
    Beaches

    Brought the family (ages 12-82) for a day at the beach. Daily fee of $25 worth the ample parking available; if we were there for three days or more, the season pass worth $60 would have been the way to go. I would have gone back in a heartbeat. Park Staff were friendly, bathrooms clean. There are stairways down to the beach (with several landings to rest if you need) and sections of the beach cordoned off if you bring your dog. Surfers abound - bring your boogie board if you have one. Sand was soft (and hot!). The day we went the water temp was a brisk 41 degrees! (Found out from newscast later that day.) Family friendly beach - worthy of your time. See more..
  8. 4.5 Chatham Lighthouse Beach (476 reviews)
    - Gorgeous beach to walk and take pictures

    Chatham Lighthouse Beach image
    Absolutely gorgeous! Looks like right out of a painting and as gorgeous as the movies depict. I'm jealous of the homes that call this their backyard. Across the street is the Chatham Lighthouse. Parking is available right in front of the beach (payment required) and there is a placard explaining some of the history of the beach. Next time, I'm splurging on a hotel in this area. See more..
  9. 4.5 Skaket Beach (450 reviews)
    - Unique, Beautiful, Iconic Cape Cod
    Beaches
    Skaket Beach image
    We arrived when the tide was fairly high, and even at high tide there was still lots of beach to explore. The views are beautiful as is the scenery. You could clearly see all the way to Provincetown. The beach itself is like looking at a Cape Cod postcard. As the tide went out, numerous tide pools, rocks and sandbars were exposed. At low tide, you feel like you could almost wade all the way to P-Town. We arrived a few days after Labor Day, so there was no cost to park and there were no crowds. Normally, I believe it costs $25 to park and the parking can apparently fill up quickly. Regardless, it’s a perfect place to kick back, relax and enjoy a Beach Day. We highly recommend! -The PowerTrippers See more..
  10. 4.5 Mayflower Beach (332 reviews)
    - Beautiful Mayflower Beach

    Mayflower Beach image
    This is the most pristine beach on the north side of Dennis on the Cape. Splendid sand, clear shallow water, this beach on a low tide is magnificent. The flats go forever and the sunsets take your breath away. Get there early in the morning as this year the town is limiting the number of paying parking customers. See more..
