Craigville Beach

Craigville Beach is one of the most popular beaches within the Barnstable area of the Nantucket Sound, located within Craigville, Massachusetts and overseen by the Craigville Beach Association. The beach offers two separate beachfront areas, including the public Craigville Beach area, which is accessible for a daily parking fee, and the adjacent private Covell's Beach, only accessible by area residents. Expansive clean sand beachfront areas attract college students and families alike, with lifeguards staffed on duty between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

Kitesurfing is a popular beachfront activity during the summer months, with ample space available for swimming and sunbathing. Though no proper concession stand is offered at the beach, many restaurants across the street from the beach serve up cuisine options to suit all tastes and price ranges. Map, Weather forecast
