Guide
Good to know
Come for sunset views and walks
The beach offers photogenic scenery with a nearby lighthouse and bikepath connecting to Woods Hole.
Visit on weekdays for solitude
Weekday mornings and afternoons draw minimal crowds compared to weekends, making it ideal for a quiet experience.
Wear water shoes in the ocean
The seafloor is covered with small rocks and pebbles that are uncomfortable and potentially sharp without foot protection.
Parking costs $10 to $20
A paid lot sits directly across the street with a short walk to the sand.
Expect limited sand above water line
The beach is narrow with the waterline close to the road, offering little space for lounging.

240 ft in a straight line from the listing to the mapped shoreline, under a minute. Soft sand and dune make the real walk longer than the straight line.
Does Surf Drive Beach have restrooms?
