There was plenty of free parking at the beach parking lot nearby, but only because we were there in early October. It is a beautiful lighthouse and a short walk over from the beach parking lot. The light house looks well maintained, and the setting is so pretty. We hope to return on a day when tours are being given.

There are various trails here. We really enjoyed the trail which had a boardwalk! It was nice and wide, scenic and led down to the water. We enjoyed the other trails as well. It is a great walk to do as a family!

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.

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.
