Guide
Good to know
Come for sunset views
The beach offers excellent sunset views of Sandy Neck Lighthouse and Barnstable Harbor, making it ideal for evening visits.
Plan around low tide
At low tide the flats expose for a quarter-mile walk with hermit crabs, shells, and small creatures to explore.
Visit off-season or arrive early
Resident-only parking runs May through September, so go October through April or get there before mid-morning on summer weekends.
Avoid dusk in warm months
Small biting insects appear at sunset during warmer weather and can cause itching that lasts over a week.
