Our grandkids love the playground. It has facilities and it’s across the street from our favorite restaurant, Skippers! You can also get icecream at skippers…. So convenient!

The perfect beach…for young children because of the playground and for us older folks who don’t like to walk to far to get to the water!

Beautiful little beach. Brown sugar sand. Great place to find shells. The water was warm and the beach was clean, not a ton of seaweed like some beaches.

Close and quiet on our visit, particularly during the week. Weekends quieter early and if you are staying for the week and want to visit multiple times on separate days or travel to other beaches, get the weekly parking pass.

It is a very relaxing beach in my opinion, there aren’t many waves and it is very rocky walking into the water but it is very relaxing. They also have a mini playground for kids. I usually go down in October and there aren’t really many people there at that time. I usually just bring a book and sit on one of the many benches they have. They also have public restrooms.

We love this beach since it is a little farther down from Smugglers which tends to be busy. It’s sandwhiched between private resident only beaches, I think that cuts down on the amount of people as well.

Nice small beach with a playground and bathroom - it was less busy than usual probably due to COVID.

We LOVE this beach! The beach area itself is small but we have never had any problems finding a spot. Parking is plentiful and the parking lot attendant was extremely friendly. At times, the kids enjoyed taking breaks from the beach and going up and playing in the playground, which is very convenient. On certain days, there were groups organizing activities for the kids up on the playground. The bathrooms are very clean and the snack bar was handy.

Easy access from our cottage Yarmouth Vacation Rental ID 20751 (within walking distance), parking (if needed), a snack bar and bathrooms with showers,a playground, a lifeguard station, nice benches to watch people or scenery, soft sand, and gentle waves. Very crowded and people tended to bring large umbrellas, chairs, and tents, which took up too much room and blocked the view of the ocean. A lot of seaweed (especially after a heavy rain).

The beach, though small, is within walking distance of the house (5 min.) [Property ID 3328], is family friendly and has a snack bar and restaurants nearby.

The beach is about 7 min. by car [from Property ID 21067]. i have been going to the cape for the last 16 years and have stayed in many different places, but all have been close to this beach. Love this beach.
