As a small island—it doesn’t take long to drive from one end to the other—it goes without saying The Cape is surrounded by fantastic beaches. While some are more crowded than others, and some have more amenities, you really can’t go wrong when it comes to picking the perfect sandy spot. A couple of my faves:
NORTH BEACH ISLAND
Right off the coast of Chatham and only accessible by boat or water taxi, North Beach is one of the emptier beaches on The Cape. There is nothing on the island besides the beach itself, so make sure to pack all that you might need. The effort is worth it to travel to Cape Cod and find a beach where you might not see another human is quite magical.
CORPORATION BEACH
I’m also quite partial to Corporation Beach in Dennis because it’s where I went the most growing up but it is also one of the most beautiful. It’s almost like a lagoon at high tide, with a crescent-shaped shoreline on the bay side of the island. At low tide, the beach extends seemingly forever, making it a great place to come at night for kite flying and dinnertime picnics. Not to say it’s not also wonderful during the day to be able to spread out with your friends and family, especially with its stone jetty and pebbled inlets which make it a great place to swim as well as walk and explore.
