You can park right next to the beach and there is plenty of parking. Makes it much easier to load and unload the cars for a nice beach set up! The water is warm and not rough at all.

While we enjoyed all the beaches we visited, the West Dennis Beach reminded us more of the beaches we have at home in Southern New Jersey, so it felt more comfortable. The water was a little sea-weedy on the day we went, but it was not crowded, it was easy to park, and the water was nice and warm (but not too warm). Second favorite is Mayflower Beach--nice water but definitely go at low tide because the beach area gets very small and it is a crowded beach.

We loved the beach. We should have gotten there earlier, however, as we did have to wait in a line for about 45min. (It was 4th of July weekend also) After that, parking was easy and beach was beautiful.

This was a great beach! They had amenities at the end of the beach; Restrooms, changing facility and a small snack bar. Although I did not travel with children there was a few swings there that kids were enjoying. The only issue for me was the amount of seaweed but this may be a Cape Cod issue.

The beach was wonderful - our new favorite at the Cape! It was an easy, quick walk, it was not overcrowded and provided a snack bar, restrooms and swing set. The beach itself is a long beautiful stretch and a very relaxing setting. On the 4th of July we were able to walk down to the beach and watch amazing fireworks in every direction! We will definitely rent in this area again!

We go here because it's never crowded. One less star for the copious seaweed and for the rocky as heck beach (buy beach shoes, they are worth it). Otherwise, the sand is beautiful and the sunrises/sunsets are amazing. This is by far the best beach to watch a full moon rise. We've been hooked since 2013.

While I LOVE the beaches on the Outer Cape, we choose to drive a short 5 minutes to West Dennis Beach. There's a new restroom facility and outdoor shower near the end, and typically the beach is not crowded at all. And, great sand! We purchased a week's pass at Town Hall on Saturday morning and used the beach every day, so parking was less than $11/day.

I think this was the beach - long and narrow - great for walking, both on the beach and along the adjacent parking lot, with views of the ocean and the inlet. Fantastic to watch the kite/wind surfing. Enjoyed the boat ride on the river.
