Hands down the BEST beach on the Cape! The views are amazing, the water is crystal clear and during low-tide, you can have a nice long walk. They have a snack bar, bathrooms, and lifeguards on site. Please note: during the summer, if you want to find parking, go early (before 9am). Anytime after that, it's harder to find a spot and you'll have to pay to park. I recommend taking a Lyft and getting dropped off if you don't want to deal with the hassle.
