Beaches

The #1 reason for coming to the Cape! And our house is close to the best of the best!
Our favorite beach. The tide determines how your day will go. Will you walk for miles and catch crabs and minnows? Or will you swim and float as the tide comes in or goes out? Everyday is a different adventure!

Looking for some big waves? Check out Nauset beach! The waves are bigger, the water is a bit colder, but worth it for anyone looking to add some excitement to their day at the beach!

Beautiful and quiet beach. If the other beaches are getting a bit too crowded, check out Saints Landing. A Brewster parking pass is required (easy to get at the Brewster Town Hall), and totally worth it to access all the amazing Brewster beaches!

Watch the fishing boats unload their cargo, while seals wait to catch any spills… then go get a bowl of the best clam chowder and eat at a picnic table. The Chatham Pier Fish market has incredible Cape classics.

Things to do

It’s hard to imagine taking a break from the beach… but there are lots of great options!
Watch the fishing boats come and go and unload their cargo. And note, you won’t be the only ones watching the fish come off the boats. Seals will be there, hoping the fishers spill something delicious for them!
