This is an awesome beach to visit, with a lot of scenery and room to move around. Since this is on…read morethe bay side, the waves are very gentle, making it soothing and relaxing. It's a pretty quiet beach for the most part -- not too many people to be found. We found ourselves spending quite a bit time of here, in the early-late evening, and also in the morning. Let me say, the sky was beautiful, and nothing gets better than that. I noticed a couple of rock walls, at least at this location, and more going in each direction. Take caution, and don't get hurt. Enjoy and take every moment in. There is no lifeguard on duty at Sagamore Beach.

Yesterday was our first trip here. A friend of my mother's recommended it so we checked it out. We…read morethought it was pretty cute. There's plenty of sand to put a blanket down and not many shells or rocks to step on. Someone below mentioned seaweed but there was barely any yesterday. I don't count 3 or 4 pieces as a lot of seaweed. It's also very kid/family friendly. Maybe not the place to go if you want to party with your friends though. The water is really warm, and very calm. Someone also mentioned "boat oil" in the water, but my mom thinks it sunblock from all the little ones in the water-as it was only where all the little kids are (and yes, there are parked boats near by) but they test the water daily and there was none a bit further down away from the crowd. Mom spoke with some locals and they recommended getting there around 9am on the weekends to beat the rush for the parking lot. There's also a bandstand with free concerts over the summer. The only thing I wouldn't recommend is Marc Anthony's pizza place. The guy at the counter was pretty rude to us, and the fried clams were just so so. Next time we're going to try Stash's right across from the parking lot. We stopped in there for a menu after the bad experience at Marc's and found they have a nice outdoor seating area plus we could have gotten the clam plate $3 cheaper with much friendlier staff inside. The menu at Stash's is pretty big & they have ice cream & alcohol too! Get there early on the weekends if you want to park easy or try it during the week! :)

Would be more 3.5 stars for me. Beach parking was less than others in cape cod($14 vs others…read more20-30/day). Would download the parking app ahead of time. The app prompts you not to pay until you get there as you may not have a spot even if you already pre-paid. Pros: bathroom facilities and outdoor showers Snack bar if needed Parking cheaper compared to other beaches on the Cape For us this beach was much closer to where we were staying. Cons: Water was freezing(mid 60s). This may be also viewed as a pro as it felt really cooling after being in it but does take time to get used to. The kids in the group had a hard time venturing any further than knee height. Walk to and from parking lot/ bathroom was a little long. The sand can be a little pebbly.

I live in MA and drove 1 hour to Scusset Beach during the 2nd week of July, 2026. The weather was…read moreperfect - perfect for a beach day : hot, sunny, clear blue sky. 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.

Cohasset Narrows bridge is fixed and low, so no masted vessels. Nice for swimming, shellfishing, shore fishing (striper/schoolies), kayaking,jestskiing,SUP and just messing about. Fresh water Red Brook empties into this bay after flowing some 5 miles from White Island Pond in Plymouth. This brook and surroundings are owned by the Trustees of Reservations and is home to the only remaining Sea Run Brook Trout spawning areas in the Northeast. Public beaches at Electric Ave in Bourne (resident permit required) and at Lyman Reserve in Bourne. No public beaches on Wareham side. Pretty muddy at low tide so plan swimming accordingly. My favorite place to swim is the channel between Buttermilk and Little Buttermilk (Gibbs Narrows). Crystal clear and the current will give you a Nantucket sleigh ride when tide is changing.

Came out from Cambridge today looking to get some nature and perhaps see some wildlife. Took the shore path toward the bay and upon turning the corner towards the bay there was a women spread eagle while her male companion head was blissfully between her legs. She had a fair away gaze towards the cloud filled sky with a satisfied smile across her face.....a little too much wildlife for me.....

I concur with Eric, more than likely he doesn't want you to get off exit 3 and hit MaryLou's first…read more (keeping that to himself too!) at 755 State Road in Manomet. This place is a secret gem! There's some gravelly sand (not much) soft enough to sunbath high on the beach and if you walk about 1000' feet to the right toward White Cliffs you'll be on the backside of the marsh Eric mentioned and depending on the tide can walk across (take off your shoes) to a sandy section, look for sea creatures, crabs, et. Along the way there is a section of beach grass that is roped off for nesting plovers - you'll see 'em darting all around the grass. If you visit in late summer to late fall watch for the seals sunning themselves (no that's not me dispite the whiskers). Watch yourself on those stairs Eric mentioned - they look like something out of a Dr Seuss book! speaking of which this is a great place for kids to learn - all kid of sea life, washed up lobster traps, etc. Finally and very important - no lifeguards.

The camping sites are deep in the forest, in fact it's bout 5 miles from the entrance to camping sites. Roads are paved and my own problem is having to constantly contend with bicyclists.

I saw the signs and didn't know what it was until I stumbled across the building one day. Yes, there is a prison facility in these woods!! Maybe that's why they have state park rangers at each camping "gate", and I fully appreciate that!

We recently stayed at Myles Standish State Forest on site J26 in the Barretts Pond loop, and…read moreunfortunately, it wasn't quite what we expected. The site itself is situated at the top of a steep hill, which is not ideal if you have a car that sits low to the ground, our vehicle bottomed out trying to park, making it basically unusable for us in that spot. To make matters worse, the path to the site doubles as an access point to another campsite. So even if you could manage to park there, chances are high that your neighbors will end up parking in that same pathway, making it extremely difficult--if not impossible--for you to get to your site conveniently. It definitely felt like the layout of this area wasn't thought through for ease of access. The bathrooms in this loop left a lot to be desired. During our stay, they were extremely dirty and, at one point, there were a few hours without water or electricity. That said, there were a few positives. The small swimming pond in this section of the campground was actually quite charming. It's private to those staying at the loop, which makes it feel peaceful and far less crowded compared to other parts of the forest that have public access. It was nice to be able to relax there without the usual campground chaos. Overall, the serenity of the area was nice, but the site setup, parking issues, and bathroom conditions really took away from the experience. If you're considering this loop, especially site J26, I'd recommend looking into alternative spots within the forest that might be easier to access and are better maintained. I've been coming here for years and have had many experiences both good and bad. Check-in can take awhile, and lines can get long which is brutal in the heat, then your met with some people at the counters with attitudes that leave more to be desired. I'm sure there are better places to camp, but it is a staple.
