Beaches on Cape Cod, MA

If you’re anything like me and crave soft sands, salty breezes, and those iconic New England summer days, then you’re going to love the beaches on Cape Cod, MA. When I visited, I found more than just beautiful coastlines—I felt that special Cape charm you hear about but don’t truly get until you’re there.

I spent mornings by the calm bays, perfect for a peaceful swim or just wading with your toes in the water. And in the afternoons, I’d wander to the outer beaches where the waves crash and the sky stretches wide. Whether you’re planning a beach day with the family or hoping for a quiet, romantic stroll, I think you’ll find your own favorite spot—just like I did.

Highlights:

• Relax on the wide sands and gentle waves of Mayflower Beach in Dennis.
• Explore the rolling dunes and scenic trails at Race Point Beach in Provincetown.
• Swim in the calm, warm waters at Old Silver Beach in Falmouth.
• Watch the seals at Coast Guard Beach in Eastham, part of Cape Cod National Seashore.
• Stroll along the picturesque shores of Nauset Beach in Orleans for sunrise views and surf.
