Ridgevale Beach, Cape Cod

We liked it because it has an ocean view and marsh view. It had a snack bar, sailboat rentals and bathroom facilities.

The beach was great for long walks and finding shells. The surf was not too rough so the water was very enjoyable to swim in.

I have been going here since I was a kid, no actual restrooms have port-a-potty, snack bar. limited parking is not a problem if you go early, Seaside beach has a natural bay with little creatures like hermit crabs, snails, fish. Kids like to play with nets and catch them and then put them back. My son called this baby beach because lots of families like to set up on the natural bayside.

Beautiful ocean side beach with plenty of easy parking, shallow inlets for children to splash around in and hunt for crabs, sailboat rentals, snack bar and a small beach shop. This beach has it all!

Small town feeling. Love the snack bar and it’s tucked away. Very scenic.

Perfect beach for families, they have a creek that’s not too deep at high tide for kids to swim in that don’t want to be on ocean side and they also have a snack shop/ice cream to take a little break in the day.

Loved this beach! Easy walk from the house and one of the nicest beaches we’ve ever been too :) We’ve been to Chatham many times and never been to this beach, a real gem.

Kayak and canoeing

Perfect, extremely scenic kid-friendly beach. You have the ocean with several lovely sandbars on one side and warm-water tide pools and streams on the other. Both kids and adults alike will absolutely love this beach. Come in the morning for an early stroll or run—it's gorgeous.

As above, great for swimming, riding the current, birdwatching and relaxing. Great family beach too! Besides swimming in Nantucket Sound this beach has a marsh/creek side that is great for exploring marine life as the tide comes in and out and it’s shallow and calm enough for children to enjoy.
We also enjoyed nearby Forest Beach.
