July 27, 2021 Frederic Celentano

The Atlantic crashes on a coastline strewn with quaint harbors, windswept beaches, glorious dunes and blinking lighthouses. Explore Cape Cod National Seashore, bike past cranberry bogs on the Rail Trail or saunter around Sandwich, the Cape's oldest town. Many areas are architectural and culinary gems - full of weathered shingles, whaling captains' mansions, chowder shacks and upscale dining delights. Don't miss Woods Hole Oceanquest, famed Martha's Vineyard or charmingly upbeat Provincetown.

Cape Cod National Seashore

Over 40,000 beautiful acres of protected beach and dunes, stretching from Chatham to Provincetown.

During our visit to Cape Cod National Seashore we enjoyed relaxing beach time at Marconi Beach, complete with several seal appearances just beyond the waves and then hiked in the white cedar swamp. The park wasn’t very crowded as we were there during the week just after Labor Day. Loved the visit and the fact that it gave us the opportunity to both be active and relax.

My 8yr old and 4 1/2yr old loved this beach. Clean, beautiful and quiet. Lots of seashells and plenty of space to walk around and distance yourself from other visitors. People around were very friendly

Going to Gray's beach gives you the opportunity to be on a small beach in good weather, and walk the long boardwalk over the marsh any time of year. It is always beautiful.

The family house is within a mile of this beach so we love that it is close. There is less fear of the sharks to swim here so we can relax a bit more. We like to clam here and my boys liked to fish. a great, kid friendly beach due to the gentle waves.

With so many incredible beaches on Cape Cod, this will hit the highlight mark. Beautiful horseshoe shape and an incredible food stand, which is run by local market. Food is worth the trip too.
