Beaches
Our personal favorite! This popular Dennis beach is perfect for little ones due to its gentle waves and wading pools during low tide. About 13 minutes away.
Pro Tip: Go during low tide for the widest expansion of the beach and stay for the sunset (check the tide schedule - https://tides.willyweather.com/ma/barnstable-county/mayflower-beach.html)
- Get there early morning or late afternoon as parking fills up fast
- If parking is full, try Corporation Beach or Chapin Memorial Beach next door

The perfect place to catch the most beautiful Cape Cod sunset! Provides a stunning view of the Cape Cod bay that includes both marshland and beach scenery from one viewpoint. There is ample free parking and a newly renovated boardwalk that allows you to soak in the views of the salt marsh. While the beach is not expansive, there is still ample space to sit and enjoy the water. Great place for a quiet retreat, launch a kayak or to bring children to play in the estuaries (crabs galore at low tide!).
