A popular beach destination in the summer, Newcomb Hollow, is bordered by sand dunes. The sand is white and soft and the water is refreshing. You will need to descend and ascend steep sand dunes in order to access this beach so you may want to keep that in mind when deciding what items to bring to the beach. Parking sticker (resident, seasonal, weekly, or daily) is required.
Beautiful dunes, not crowded, great sandbars for surfing and boogie boarding…

Has a nice sandbar at low tide. Slight trek up/down a dune, but not too far from parking lot. Clean sand and water, nice waves for boogie boarding. Has restrooms and a food truck. Can have some sand flies that bite, only seemed to be a problem at dusk/dawn.

Ample parking, clean restroom, manageable dune, and wide beach. Beautiful view!

One of the easier beaches to walk on to for anyone with a limitation. We enjoyed watching the surfers. Pretty clean bathrooms and a food truck stationed near the beach entrance.

Easy access, parking great, food truck in parking lot was awesome, lifeguards right there, shark ping buoy was right there, beautiful sand and walking beach, not crowded like other beaches.

Newcomb Hollow is a great ocean-side beach. It's our favorite because the walk down the dunes isn't too steep. Also, there are public bathrooms, plenty of parking and a food/drink truck. Nothing like the National Seashore!

I'm biased; I've been going to Newcomb Hollow for 50 years. It's a relatively short walk down to the beach, and it's a great area for boogie boarding (when the water is a little warmer than it is in mid June)
