We have a 4 year old & 1.5 year old, both beach bums. I researched which Cape beach to go to for…read morehours. Mayflower Beach seemed great but I read there was a lot of seaweed. Coast Guard Beach seemed great also except for the fact that we would have to park and then take a shuttle to the shore. We decided on this beach, which seems to have the same feel as Coast Guard. We got there at about 945am on a Tuesday morning in August. There were only a handful of parking spots left at The Beachcomber. Parking was $30 but we got a voucher to use toward food or souvenirs from The Beachcomber (the food and mixed drinks there were very good). The beach is accessible by a pathway on a sand dune that is tall and steep. Going down was easy. Going back up required a few rest stops for me. I'm pregnant and I was carrying our 1.5 year old. It probably would've been easier for me had I not been pregnant but this is definitely not a trek for anyone with physical limitations. My 4 year old went up and down twice but her legs were really burning the 2nd time going up. This is one of the best beaches I've ever been to. Sapphire water and soft sand. Quiet crowd and limited cell service, which added to the relaxation. The shore is a little rocky but doable without water shoes. Once you walk into the water a few feet from the shore the rocks give way to soft sand. The water was cold. I almost felt like I was taking an ice bath. But it felt great once I got acclimated and really helped me cool down in the 85 degree weather. It was a really special experience and so picturesque. One important note: there is a danger of sharks because of the booming seal population. We saw seals in the early afternoon swimming playfully about 20 feet from shore. Some locals will not get in the water if they spot seals-- that means sharks could be nearby. There were lifeguards on duty and also a shark patrol boat along the coast but it's still a little scary! The current got very strong in the early afternoon. I'm used to the crashing waves at the Atlantic beaches in NY and this undertow concerned even me.

The Cape Cod National Seashore is absolutely stunning…read more I love the majestic dunes that keep you from seeing civilization when you are down on the beach at Cahoon Hollow. This beach is such a peaceful spot and very relaxing. I grew up and spent most of my life on the east coast, but since moving to California, I have visited many of the notable beaches between San Diego and San Francisco. With that said, Cahoon Hollow is still one of my favorite beaches in the United States. I have generally visited Cahoon Hollow in May-June or September-October when parking is usually free and the beaches are not very crowded. I recommend trying to visit at those times. This is another GREAT beach for sitting on and spending the day OR for taking a nice long stroll. You could walk for miles. I recommend packing a lunch, snacks and beverages. There are 2 negatives to this beach: 1. Parking is pricey in the summer. 2. It's a VERY steep walk to get down to the beach. **Lecount Hollow is another equally stunning beach that is located right next to Cahoon Hollow.**

This was the best experience ever. Living in Southern California, I go whale watching frequently…read more So when I say this was the best, I'm ranking it among hundreds of trips. There was no expectation to even see any whales, because I know there are never guarantees with nature.. But it was a very special trip with our children and our neighbor from California who recently lost his spouse. I called after 10 AM when I saw there was a 1 PM opening for a private charter, Chad immediately called me back and even though it took me quite a while to rally the troops, he held this spot for us. He definitely went over and above. Then Captain Jesse I told him I'd write a Cell was the icing on the cake by his kindness, knowledge, excitement, and so much more. Oh, and by the way, we saw at least a dozen different whales. There was tail slapping breaching spy, hopping.... And since we were in a small boat, we were able to zip around to see everything. It is well worth the money to do this. Big boats are fine, but this was something that will be embedded in our hearts forever.

Three years ago we happened on this beach pretty much by accident. It impressed us for many…read morereasons. First of all, there was a ready supply of parking, and no officials there to bother us for being out of state visitors. Secondly, the surf was more magnificent than my pictures can capture. Then there are the seals, which seem to be there at all times. Signs tell you to avoid them because there are also sharks in the area, and you may tragically be mistaken for a seal. On our second visit three years later, it was all as we had remembered. We'd forgotten the name of the beach, but got an accurate tip from the wine pourer at the nearby winery. Seals, surf and the good cheer of the sparse group of people on the beach. I hope we will have the chance to go for a third visit.

It is a favorite amongst nude sunbathers so stick to the crowds if you're bringing the kids along. Parking is difficult after 11am and requires a beach sticker (or take a chance with a ticket). Two portable toilets are usually clean (as clean as a porta-toilet by the beach can be), but there are no changing facilities at this beach.

The site of these boats against the western sky and the pine tree lined entrance way to Rock Harbor from Cape Cod Bay is really memorable. Some broken clouds that offer the best sunset in the west, maybe a touch of haze in July and wait the rare opportunity when the tide is way out so there are miles of wet and salty newly created beach-front that offer up some serious sunset hiking. And then............there is the famous, never to be denied, discussed never in public Rock Harbor sunset cocktail members. Not that this is a club but you can pretty much walk by the first row closest to the beach and watch the perfect martini being poured in the passenger seat.. A little music, a little alcohol who knows ....a little magic back at the cottage. Rock Harbor sunset viewing is an Orleans tradition. Mostly attended by the more experienced or should I say retired. But it does catch on and as the tourist season picks up the gathering brings down the average age into the just after college category...and especially if the tide is out. So bring your cooler, kids, frisbee (no dogs in season ..too bad) and a definite is a camera. I'm thinking the perfect accesory is the a 12v powered margarita machine that helps put the evening over the top.

Each time, the six hour trip is a different adventure, dependent on the wind and what we want to do that day. One year we just cruised up and down Herring Cove beach, taking the motorized jetty out so we could run some of the waves. One year we stayed in the Bay and looked at seals (as well as the normal Provincetown otters and bears). This past week, with limited wind, we just relaxed on the boat in the middle of the bay, jumping into the water when drinking white wine on-deck became too demanding. Six men (plus the captain, Chris) fit very comfortably on the deck, and Chris is beyond patient with our (still) pretty basic questions on the sailing life. He has great stories and is incredibly friendly. This is always a highlight of the week for us. With a stunning backdrop of Provincetown, an great captain, and a beautiful boat, there's nothing else like it.
