Nice, clean beach just over the bridge going into the Cape. Has real bathroom facilities, showers, and changing areas. This beach also has a small snack shack that sells burgers, hot dogs, wraps, fries, drinks, and popsicles- it’s only open during peak summer months. Ample parking and you pay for parking on your phone- which is great for someone like me who never carries cash! It’s my favorite beach to go to for a day trip. My family and I usually spend the entire day at Scusset Beach, then on the way home, go to Seafood Sam’s for dinner and Twin Acres for ice cream!
It’s a nice place to visit even in the cold season. The boardwalk, the beach, the sea grass are all beautiful. It’s very close to the upper cape so you don’t have to drive far into the cape. Parking lot is big. It even has a playground right there next to the parking lot.
But summer can be busy and a lot more people. That’s for sure.
Favorite MA beach! Pack as light as possible and try to carry everything. Once you hit the sand on a hot day, all hope is lost with lugging supplies. Snack bar, bathrooms, life guards. We love it here!! Parking fills up fast on weekends. Need to get there early on the weekend or may not get in.
Nice beach off season. Crazy busy during the season. Clean sand. Water usually always cold. Nice ocean views. Clean bathrooms
This beach is simply beautiful. They have bathroom facilities and outdoor showers. They also have a snack shack with ice cream, great freshly squeezed lemonade, and other treats. My husband and I bought the year parking pass through the Yodel app so we can park as much as we want without paying for parking each time. It’s definitely a great beach to spend a lazy day listening to the waves. Highly recommend.
