Marconi Beach, Cape Cod

Not crowded, nice facilities, family oriented, even surfing!

Great beach front - not rocky

Always parking available anytime of day and the beach itself is beautiful as others on the National Seashore. We're big NLB fans as well.

Nice big parking lot, clean bathrooms, changing building. Gorgeous!

Majestic waters, seals visited us at the tip of the water! Breathtaking! The dogs loved it!

Very close to the house. Larger parking lot and didn't need a town beach pass which were expensive this year. There is a nice sandbar for kids to play on if you time your visit for low tide.

The beach is gorgeous! Be prepared to walk up and down stairs and bring sand shoes for the rocks.

Good facilities - cool sandbar for boogie boarding.

Marconi is excellent, especially when you bike there! The sand is great and water is amazing. We saw some cute seals and got warm water temperatures :)

Beautiful clean beach with plenty of parking and clean bathrooms. Can walk for miles along the water with gorgeous sand dunes on the opposite side.

This is the easiest beach for us to get to from the house. The stairs going down can be a bit much with little ones, but we manage it. The waves can be big, but low tide is beautiful and really easy to enjoy with little ones. My 4 year old loved it. There are lifeguards on site. Can be rocky, so definitely bring water shoes. Fun to watch surfers and do some seal spotting!

We love Marconi Beach. It's pristine and scenic and never seems to get crazy-crowded. It's especially gorgeous early in the morning before the crowds.

Marconi is such a gorgeous and easy option for the ocean beaches, especially with the big parking lot.

Extremely close, clean facilities, nice fellow beach people.

We loved the huge waves and scenic sand dunes! Water was too rough to swim in, but perfect for dipping our toes and building sand castles.

Marconi has always been a favorite for us. We have been visiting it since 1979. This year with the covid virus regulations we still found the beach to be wonderful. People were respectful of distancing and masks were worn by people using the stairs and public walkways.
As always the beach changes every year and this year we could even see changes during the week. It is what makes us love and appreciate the National Seashore. It is even more special now to be visiting with our five year old grandson and one year old twin granddaughters.

Big, beautiful waves! Seals, sand dunes, stunning views in all directions.

The beach has a huge parking lot and has never been filled up when I've been thier, decent bathrooms and changing rooms . A great stairway makes easy access down to the beach. I can walk for miles in either direction enjoying the sound of the waves .

Wide, Sandy beach, large dunes. The ocean has good waves for surfing, you can walk for miles

Marconi never disappoints in any weather. Plenty of parking, a beautiful sweeping beach with stunning dunes, frequent wildlife, and access to the Marconi station viewing area and the lovely White Cedar Swamp walk. Easy biking from the rail trail. It just has everything!

We had 2 great days at Marconi. Had plenty of room to set up for the day, parking is a short walk to the beach and good waves both visits. Worth the trip!

I just go there to relax and replenish my soul.

The water was warm with great waves and deep shades of blue green colors. Lots of seals and we even saw a whale breaching off the shore! Spectacular panoramic views from the parking lot where there is a big beach house and changing stations without roofs. Huge orange, full moon rising over the horizon. Always love that feeling of being outside. Be prepared for the hike up and down the long staircases.

We like to go to the National seashore with the dogs in the early evening. Its not blazing hot, there's no fee and it's way less crowded. Seal watching is a big hit too!

Absolutely our family's favorite beach. Beautiful views, great for boarding, and lots of seal sightings. Great sand and so peaceful, even during peak times there is plenty of room where you can spread out down the beach in peace.

Awesome beach for beautiful sand and big Atlantic ocean waves.

Spectacular Views, soft sand. Perfect for an afternoon in the waves. Plus seals play right off shore.

Large Beach, super soft sand, great for wave boarding/surfing, great for biking there, TONS of lifeguards, a really nice family beach.

Marconi beach had a dog friendly area! beautiful dunes, big waves for body surfing and saw seals during our stay!

The beach was well-maintained, there was plenty of parking, and the waves were not too big [Although there were surfers having success a little further down the beach.] As seems common to the ocean beaches in this part of the cape, there are many stairs between the parking lot and the beach.

Easy car access without the need to shuttle and the beach was great with good waves and no or little rocks.

Everyone enjoyed the waves and beauty of this beach. It helped that it was only a 5 to 10 minute drive (great for kids) Wellfleet Vacation Rental ID 5392

Tons of parking even when all other Seashore lots are full.

At the time of year we went it was an endless beach of peace and quiet!

Loved the dunes and unspoiled geography - reminds me of Scotland.

This National Seashore beach (Marconi) is long, with lots of soft sand, lifeguards, surf, room to walk the beach, and tons of parking. The Federal Gov't does charge for parking. HINT: If you are 62 or older, get a LIFETIME pass, good at all National Parks, National Forests, National Campgrounds, for only $10. A one day parking fee is normally $20. What a deal!!

Lots of parking. Easy to get to. Clean bathrooms were close. The water was clean and cold.

Marconi Beach has a raw, unspoiled coastline - just ocean and dunes. My family and I have been coming to this beach for over 20 years, and it never ceases to take my breath away.

The waves at Marconi are incredible. Plan your trip around the tides. It's best at low tide when are great sand bars and tide pools.

Great at low tide--long low waves for older kids and grown ups to boogie board, body surf or surf and large shallow trench for little ones to play in.

Saw seals in ocean. Great place to see the sunrise!

I loved the cliff & the great expanse of sea!!!

Especially at low tide. Marconi with its long low tide shelf is better for those who enjoy long walks. The stairs to the beach are better maintained and sectioned with more rest areas for the up & down. The bathroom, shower and changing facilities are the best on the cape in my opinion. We went in Sept; it is probably a lot more crowded on prime summer days. For best results note the moon and the tides.

Beautiful beach and dune cliffs, has changing facilities and bathrooms/showers. Saw lots of seals offshore.

Dunes were great to see! Waves were really good for body surfing, sandy bottom. People were friendly. National Seashore. We drove there twice.

beautiful beach, great waves, clean water

Just as popular as the rest, but less rocky.

We love how breathtaking the beach is as you walk down the stairs and see the 200 ft dunes. The beach is never that crowded and going into the water is a pleasure.
