The Little Capistrano Bike Shop

Reviewed By we4viajeros - Dover, United States

We stumbled upon this place and it turned out to be a great find. you can rent bicycles any time of day for a very reasonable rate. We did not have a mounts or anything on our car to drive the bicycles anywhere. But there was ample parking and you could easily walk the bikes across the street to where the Cape Cod national seashore has a very long bike path out to the beach. We did the very short trail to the beach and back and it was well worth it. The service in the bike shop.was excellent. They made sure the kids were well sized to their bikes and had helmets. Bike rentals made easy!

First Encounter Beach

Reviewed By JELPaints - Eastham, United States

You need an Eastham sticker, or you can pay the daily rate at the gate ($20, I think). There is a large parking lot as you enter, and this is the busiest part of the beach. But drive down further and park along the dunes for a private spot to enjoy the beach. At the very end, there is a creek, that is perfect for tubing. At low tide, walk out for a half mile -- and check out the oyster grants along the way. At high tide, a warm sandy swimming beach. There is a plaque in the parking lot commemorating the "first encounter" between the Mayflower pilgrims and the Native Americans. Beautiful, soft sand -- no rocks, no shells.

Nauset Light Beach

Reviewed By gladysbarros66 - Connecticut, United States

I have lived in New England for just about 42 years and I am only just now discovering the most enjoyable beach. With all the shark fan fare this year, I wanted to see if I could catch a glimpse at a fin, but to my surprise and enjoyment, I discovered the lovable seals playing in the waves. This is actually our second trip here in the past three weeks. Once we told our 15 year old daughter about the seals, she wanted to see them up close and not in an aquarium. So on a Friday after school we took the 3 hour ride and arrived just before dusk. It is a must see for animal lovers of all ages.
