One of the most family-friendly beaches on the Outer Cape — the gradual slope into calmer water makes it safer for little ones than Atlantic-facing beaches. A bathhouse with restrooms and a seasonal snack bar are on-site; parking managed by the National Park Service (America the Beautiful pass accepted). Arrive before 10 AM in summer to snag a spot near the accessible boardwalk path.
