Long stretch of sandy beach for walking, mounds of shells, and a Little Free Library at the bath house!

Sea Gull Beach is huge with lots of parking. A nice long jetty for walking and plenty of sand so you can always find a spot for your umbrella and chairs.

We loved this beach because it was big enough for us to walk about and collect seashells with plenty of space to sit and enjoy the beautiful sounds and smells of the ocean.

The beach has the softest sand on the cape. White sand and no rocks but plenty of shells. I’d recommend the weekly pass since it’s cheaper than the daily pass

Seagull Beach is the perfect family beach. There is a jetty where you can walk and/or fish off of. Walking along the beach, you can collect shells and at times see other creatures from the sea. There is a bird sanctuary where you might be able to spot rare birds eating berries and singing their songs. The beach also has a concession stand with real bathrooms and running water. I highly recommend visiting Seagull Beach when traveling to the Cape.

Not very crowded, very friendly beach attendants at front gate, easy to find parking. Lots of shells on the beach so prepare to wear your sandals a little further down that you're used to!

Great location. Beautiful, full of seashells, so easy to walk. Does has areas with a decent amount of seaweed, but still easy to wade in the waves. Plenty of parking and space on the beach to spread out, wasnt overly populated, especially after 4pm. Concessions was a huge hit especially the cold treats as well as the bathrooms. Would visit again for sure!

We've been coming to this beach for over 25 years. It's a great spot for families and singles alike. There's a food shack and restrooms at the entrance of the beach.Our favorite thing to do there is watch the fireworks: July 4th from Hyannis (far but with young children, the booms aren't so loud) and Columbus Day from Yarmouth.(weather permitting of course and, unfortunately, COVID has changed some things but those are our best memories, pre-COVID!)

We love the close proximity to cottage, rest rooms and snack bar. We are in our 70’s so it is an easy walk from the parking lot to the water. Sand is clean. Great for all ages.

The beach is about 1.5 miles from the house, so you would likely need to drive or bike, but it's a great beach with clean restrooms and a concession stand.
June H.Westborough, MA3 reviewsMember since: Feb 2007
This has been my favorite beach going way back to visiting my Aunt in W Yarmouth, now it continues to be a family favorite. It has great sand and you can find shells! You pay to park but it well worth the price. It has a snack shack and restrooms. I love this part of the Cape!
Joanne L.Prattsville, NY2 reviewsMember since: Jan 2012
Very close to where we stay [Vacation Rental ID 29865]. There can be a lot of seaweed, but that’s the same for any beach on the south shore of the Cape.
James M.Shelton, CT2 reviewsMember since: May 2019
While this public beach is delightful, the private beach is superior. The public beach has bathrooms and snack stand but it was a bit packed. Granted, the jetty walk was fun, but the private beach (Crowell) was quiet, romantic at sunset and peaceful.
Kelly L.United States3 reviewsMember since: Feb 2017

Frayda B.USA2 reviewsMember since: Jun 2016
Seagull beach is within walking distance and it's a gorgeous, white sand beach. The consession stand and bathrooms make it a great spot for families. The water was incredibly warm. There is an area right outside the parking lot where you can drop off your party and things, which is what we did, rather than pay $15 a day for parking. I would then drop the car off back at the cottage and ride my bike to the beach. There is a designated path on the side of the road for bikes and walkers. *Just a tip: Whatever you do, don't pull in the lot unless you intend to park there. The "gentleman" that run the place don't take very kindly to it, even if you're picking up someone who is disabled. I watched them threaten to call the police on a man who was probably well into his 80s, who was waiting for his wife. I understand there are rules, but this was a bit much.

This beach was minutes from our rental Yarmouth Vacation Rental ID 22406. It was clean, and the water was actually pretty warm for late June/early July! The bathrooms were decent, and there is a snack bar available, too.

The beach was raked every morning, the beach area was huge! The waves were just the right size for our grandchildren and the snack bar was very convenient. The bathrooms were very cleaned and well maintained.
