This has been my favorite beach since I went as a kid wijt my parents. It’s indescribable. Until you experience it, you don’t realize how a beach like this can be in New England, you think you’re in a much warmer climate with how perfect the sand is and the sunsets. No rocks or shells or seaweed and low tide is just, extraordinary. I cry every time I leave on vacation because I can’t get enough!

The beach was beautiful! We explored the sandbars and built sand castles at low tide and swam and played football in the water at high tide. The sunset was lovely as well.

The best beach on the Cape! Kid and family friendly, especially at low tide -- you can walk with littles and play on the wet sand for hundreds of yards. Don't forget to grab dinner and head to the beach for sunset, it's truly incredible!

The beach is clean, water is warm and clear. Sugar soft sand. Great beach for kids, as there are many tide pools for them to play in when the tide is out. And when the tide is in, there is still plenty of beach left!

This beach, located on the bay side, offers calm and warmer waters compared to the Atlantic-facing beaches. It's perfect for swimming, and the sunsets are absolutely stunning.

I love Mayflower at low tide. Many tide pools and a lot of space for the kids to run around.

Beautiful beach with best tides leaving behind warm pools for wading and fun sand bars. This is the classic Cape Cod beach. Very popular, get there early and beat the crowd, or wait in the car line for parking. We arrived after lunch, and even though the lot was full, we waited only a few minutes to get a parking spot.

Mayflower beach in Dennis was a fine choice for walking out at low tide for our grands. It was clean had plenty of lifeguard presence and the concession stand was great.
