Review:
Coast Guard Beach is part of the beautiful Cape Cod National Seashore, consistently ranked as one of America's top 10 public beaches. The beach, which is located in the quaint Massachusetts town of Eastham, is a popular hangout for teenagers and families during the summer months, with large waves creating prime conditions for boogie boarding.
Visitors can observe shorebirds such as endangered nesting plovers at Nauset Marsh, watch harbor seals at Nauset Spit, or stroll along the scenic Great Beach stretch, named by famed 20th-century author Henry David Thoreau. Ranger-led hiking, canoeing, and snorkeling excursions are offered, along with historic architecture tours and group yoga for participants of all ability levels. Though beachfront parking is limited to residents, a beach shuttle runs every 5-10 minutes from a lot on nearby Doane Road.
