This is the main beach in old Falmouth. We have used it for decades, even when here in winter, just…read moreto walk on a beach. It has ample parking and if you live here you can buy a season pass. If you are just visiting, you will pay $20 for the day to park but you can go in and out several times. Just have the attendant of the day sign the ticket as you go out and show it again when you return. In the winter when it's too cold to swim, there is no lifeguard or attendant and you can go in and out at will. There is a building with showers on the outside to get the sand off before getting in your car. There is no refreshment stand. You can also walk in from the beach homes nearby. We did a summer rental a few years ago and it was only 4 blocks to the beach and no fee to enter. There is no shade at all. People bring umbrellas and even camping tents, especially if they also bring a small child who may need a nap and shade. It was a hot day mid-summer when we were there this year and it was too hot for me, so we did not stay long. It's always nice, though, to sit and watch the boats go by, even if not up to a swim. We and our kids always collected shells here long ago when they were small. My husband still collects shells, though he looks for the more unusual ones still in the water. This year when we were there, it was very busy with families and kids running in and out of the water and having great fun, like our kids had done, decades ago. Whenever we go to Falmouth, no matter the season, we always visit this beach.

Surf Drive Beach is the site of the Old Stone Dock, attacked during the War of 1812. It was once where "packets" (mail ships) set sail. While part of New England maritime history, it is now more subdued. There's decent parking, it's clean, safe, with excellent views of Vineyard Sound. It reflects the seasons. One can watch osprey, gulls, and cormorants. It's more for relaxation than swimming. Beautiful eastern views.

The beach itself was nice enough: decent sand, not rocky, not an over abundance of seaweed. That's where the enjoyment ended. That beach had a constant barrage of biting flies that annoy the crap out of you. They are small, relentless,painfully bite, and leave itchy marks where they bite. We stayed for 3 hours to try to get our $14 (parking fee) worth but after that, we left. I'll never go back since I now know those biting flies are an issue there and have been for years. Two thumbs down and I cannot recommend Scusset Beach to any beach goer who wishes to have a lovely day at the beach. Side note : the water was so cold also, with zero waves and contained floating seaweed. Terrible.

Beautiful sand, waves, tidal pools and sand bars that are constantly changing. You can ride to the race point parking lot on bikes from the Provincelands bike trail and relax at the beach to enjoy the views. It's part of the national park system so there is a fee in season. You can use this pass to enter other national seashore beaches as well. There are a number of paths to the beach from the parking lot. One path has a mobimat available, in season at least. It is a pretty long walk down this path, and it is fairly steep, so if you struggle with that, you might prefer Herring Cove which is just on the bay side nearby. It's a bit more gradual of a hill.
