View from parking lot.

Beautiful beach with great structure and a causeway- 360* views!! The parking lot is very small but that adds to the charm of the place. They have lifeguards in the summer and it is breathtaking in the winter. Great spot!

Very nice beach! "No fun" lifeguards. Not even allowed to throw a tennis ball before the lifeguards whistle. And forget snorkeling. So ..

Maybe I'm a little bit Marilyn or maybe I'm a little Jackie O, but on Cape Cod it is hard not to be…read morecompletely wrapped up in the fashion and persona that is Jackie O. My trip to Eugenia Fortes was quiet and peaceful. I talked to some local speedwalking moms (my people!) and got into some gossip about the local celebrity homes. (We're talking about you college scandal parents!) It was fun to catch up but then I was on my merry way. I wore my oversized sunnies, a flowy skirt, a big hat, and enjoyed my feet in the sand. Not many were on the beach and the dock was desolate. As I walked closer to the sands in front of JFK's home I quieted my mind and thought of what it must have been like for him to grow up here, to then use this place as his safe haven as a President, the losses this home felt, and in turn John John's plane being out in that water. Dried up crab shells were all around. I could pick up any shell I wanted. The sand was cool and soft under my feet. These moments all to myself, these grand old Americana homes on the water, the beautiful sun glistening on the ocean... I get it. It really is stunning and the legacy can be felt on your skin when the wind blows.

Access to this beach is restricted to Barnstable county residents. There is very limited parking…read more The beach has some rocky areas and I'm not sure I'd come here for swimming but is fun to walk. Beautiful views of the Kennedy compound and other luxe residences. Many areas are closed off due to birds' nesting so in some areas there was little room to walk.
