Paine's Creek, Cape Cod

It’s perfect for little kids. It’s a tiny beach, enough parking for about 12 cars. There’s a nice rock jedi and the water is truly a big creek that your kids can explore in, walking up on different sandbars, not worrying about the waves at all. If you a bit before low tide, you can be in the creek for a good 4 hours with your littles finding hermit crabs, shells, and crabs. So so clean and so much fun!!

Don't think beach. Think creek -- rising and falling with the tides. Ideal for kids.

Great for families with young children and teens. Natural lazy River. Fun for catching crabs or just relaxing with a book and the view.

We loved this beach for our young toddler. We came early to get parking (it was very easy to get a day pass by just buying online) and we spent countless hours on the beach and playing in the water during low tide. There is lots of different areas to explore along the water which made it fun as well and it was such a short drive from the rental we were staying at.

Perfect for small children and families

Lovely beach with tidal pools. Resident Parking Permit At small lot May through September, while I was there, patrolled frequently. No other places to park nearby, all private property.

Paine's Creek is PERFECT for the under 10 year old set. Bay side means the waves are tiny and the creatures are plentiful. We bought a parking pass for our stay through the town of Brewster website, so we even got to park. If our kids were slightly older we'd have walked or biked and saved the parking fee and the gas. Next time!

At low tide and/or sunset, it is gorgeous. You can walk out for almost a mile and watch the tide come in.

We love this beach and it's lazy river that changes with the tides. It's also the best place to catch a sunset!

Our kids 17, 14, and 11 loved being at Paine's Creek. They had a blast jumping off the bridge and we loved walking to the other side during low tide and having a beautiful stretch of beach all to ourselves.
