Review & FAQ:

Mayo Beach is narrow, fairly long beach in Wellfleet that overlooks Wellfleet Harbor, near the Breakwater Light, Cape Cod. Swimming is good only at high tide but the beach gets much narrower as it loses lot of ground.

At low tide, it gets muddy and full of shells, but the water is warm and calm and fun to explore. The beach is surrounded by expanses of beach grass. The view of the rock jetty, the dunes of Great Island, and boats heading into the harbor is breathtaking.

There is a kids’ playground at Baker’s Field just across the street and a bike rack at the beach entrance. The beach is regularly used for yoga classes.
