Nice beach, near to the route 28 in West Yarmouth, well maintained and limited free parking space, I visit every year to this place. This beach is not a sunset beach but it was cool when you visit in the evenings of summer. Would definitely recommend this beach in cape cod.
Fantastic beach! The beach is spacious and is never crowded given the limited parking. The water is warm and shallow, making it very kid friendly on a calm day. There are lots of crabs and minnows, so I recommend wearing water shoes when it's low tide. It can get very windy on the ocean side so the tidal area is a great place to get out of the wind and let the kids explore for crabs. It has a Porta potty for bathroom facilities. Definitely a fun beach to visit!
Very pretty bay with calm waters and wildlife all around from birds to jelly fish. Picturesque!
Free parking which is rare at the Cape, but no bathrooms/snack bar/etc so be sure to pack food! Great views, you can see the ferries going in and out of Hyannis harbor
Great beach and trails area. However, residents permit is required to park from 8:30am to 4:30pm during summer season
