On a hot day, the cool breezes and gentle waves of Linnell Landing Beach are perfection. This is not a beach for the thrill-seekers, the wave-catchers, or the music-blasters; this is a calm, quiet, quaint family beach, perfect for small children and those looking to chill out and get away from it all for a few hours.
The small (and free!) parking lot with very few spaces means you'll have to either get there early or try your luck around lunchtime (or later), but it also means fewer people and a quieter experience all around. As a native Cap Codder, I can tell you that not many of these beaches exist for the public, so Linnell Landing is truly a jewel.
One of the reasons it might be so quiet is it's down a private road off of 6A in Brewster, with very little signage. It's the same beach as those used by Ocean Edge, just a bit North. Perfect views of the entire bay and an incredible flat at low tide, this may have just become one of my top 5 places to take my infant daughter when visiting home. read more
