    The best place to go when you need some silence in your trip. It's breezy. There are seals...which means sharks so be careful. Nice at low tide.

    While not as expansive as Nauset Light or Coast Guard, this remains a very popular beach on Cape Cod. The fried clam strips at Liam's (concession stand) are surprisingly among the best in the state.

    Not as great of a beach as Coast Guard or Nauset Light but it's less of a walk from the parking lot and has an awesome concession stand with everything you could want!

    One of the nicest beaches in Cape Cod. Caution: the water is freezing, and swarming with seals, and potentially great white sharks!

    During July and August there are free concerts every Monday night at 7. Bring some beach chairs and get some food at Liam's and watch some great local groups in the gazebo!

    July and August are packed, get there before 11am for a good parking spot, otherwise you should wait until 1pm when the morning crowds head home for lunch

    This has to be the best beach in America. Though not because the water's warm or easy to traverse.

    20$ parking. After 4:30 no fee. Still crowded around 3pm. Shark sightings, swim at own risk. There are lifeguards til 4:30

    Long sandy beach with great waves, big enough to surf.

    Colder waters than the bay. Get your snacks/ drinks at Liam's and soak up the views. $20 parking though

    Bring your boogie boards to ride the waves. Check surf conditions beforehand if you're really serious about the big waves.
