We love Craigsville beach. Although it can be crowded, it is a great place to spend the day swimming of just relaxing with a book. The beach is clean, as are the on-site facilities. The water temperature is in the 70’sF - so perfect for swimming.

Long, walkable, and sandy beach. Perfect for swimming, as the water is warmer on this side. Food stands and ice cream nearby for midday snacks. Friendly town and people.

We have been going there for years. Spacious parking and plenty of beach space.
The beach is just perfect. The water is warm and clear, there are wash and change rooms on site, and it’s only 15 minutes from the cottage.

Easy pull up, large parking lot, Just watch out for the seagulls when you eat. They like to dive bomb and steal your sandwich right out of your hand.
Amy N.Concord, VT2 reviewsMember since: Jul 2022
Not rocky, warmer water than some beaches. We went after 4 mostly to avoid $25 fee.
Mary D.Miami, FL2 reviewsMember since: Jul 2022
Close and really nice to sit in late afternoon. Quiet, as many have left by then.

We like to walk on the beaches and look for special shells. This beach was very open at this time of year and it felt like our private beach.

We loved the Craigville Beach. It was large, well maintained, and very serene.
Terri K.La Salle, IL3 reviewsMember since: Aug 2020
We tried this beach too, which is not far from the cottage. It has bathrooms, lifeguards and two places to eat right across the street. It cost $ 25.00 to park for the day. The pass covers other beaches in the town too.

Craigville Beach and also Mayflower Beach are one of the two best beaches that we like the most on Cape Cod. Craigsville the beaches are very clean no seaweed hardly any rocks the walk on the water was nice and warm.
Lindsey L.Marlton, NJ2 reviewsMember since: Feb 2021
Very kid/family friendly! Clean bathrooms and a close by snack stand. We were able to find lots of pretty shells to bring home! The ocean was free of jellyfish. There was a few feet of seaweed at the entrance to the water but once you went past that, it was great! Lifeguards on duty. Only $25 to park for the day. About 30 minutes from the home we stayed at.
Joan S.Caldwell, NJ4 reviewsMember since: Feb 2007
Large, very clean beach easily accessible from the parking lot. At the time of our visit, gentle waves in Nantucket Sound and no crowds.

Great beach! A bit of a drive from this home [Vacation Rental ID 26517] but worth it. Great waves and great food options close by. Perfect beach day!
There was little to "barely any" seaweed at this beach the week we were there. Plenty of room to spread out!

several smaller, quiet beaches very close to this home [Vacation Rental ID 24335]...while there are no crowds...a definite plus, the water was murky and at low tide it doesn't get deep....:(Craigville beach was nice (sand is like dirt tho) clean and the water was refreshing...very crowded tho....Love Cape Cod and the entire South Shore of MA...no better place in the world...:)

Stuart B.United Kingdom2 reviewsMember since: Aug 2015
Craigville Beach is beautiful and very sandy. In Summer you pay $15 for a parking spot right next to the beach or you can park for free in Centerville and take a ten minute walk to the beach. There are plenty of cafes and shops nearby but there is no shade so be sure to take an umbrella
Mary B.Reading, MA5 reviewsMember since: Jun 2011

The beach is so clean because there are no dogs or smoking allowed. There were tons of shells and good afternoon waves.
Colleen M.Boston, MA2 reviewsMember since: Sep 2014
This is quintessential Cape Cod. The sand dunes on the beach provide a unique backdrop to the shimmering ocean waves. The sailboats in the far distant add to the serene, sweeping skyline of picturesque beauty that you will absorb as you settle in for a relaxing, tranquil day on the beach.

Wide, flat beach, good for kids, and generally calm waters.
David and Tory G.Erving, MA2 reviewsMember since: Jan 2013
Awesome Beach. Waves are on the small side making it nice for kids. Plenty of space even when its very busy on the weekends. Parking lot is quite large and right there by the beach making it nice for those that bring a lot of gear to the beach for the day.
