Review:

Dowses Beach is a quaint beach in Osterville that stretches out along a large peninsular area, offering dual-sided views of the beautiful waters of the Atlantic Ocean. A very large parking lot is offered at the beach, which is heavily littered with seashells, making beachwalking difficult but making for excellent beachcombing conditions. Ample space is available for beach activities such as sunbathing and beachfront sports, with lifeguards staffed on duty between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Rock jetties at the end of the beach make for great spots for waterfront observation, with a large viewing dock accessible for visitors with mobility concerns.
