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.

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.

So I went straight to the source and connected with Mike Morrison, who was not only professional and honest, but genuinely invested in making our family kayak dream happen. He even dropped a discount code like a true Cape Cod MVP. The experience? Unreal. We paddled out to a private beach only accessible by boat--and it was to die for. Calm waters, untouched shoreline, and the kind of peace that makes you forget your inbox exists. I still can't believe people get to do this regularly. It was truly memorable, and Rideaway made it seamless. They also offer sunset tours and paddle board rentals, which we're already eyeing for next time. The staff? Mostly young, but super informative, professional, and full of good vibes. Rideaway doesn't just rent gear--they curate moments. Boomsauce Scale B- basura (trash) BS basic (come on!

The canal bike path is beautiful - peaceful, pristine, and not crowded. It was challenging for us to go the full 13 miles up and back (we aren't experienced cyclists so it took about 2 hours), but we only had to stop a couple times. The staff at Rideaway were very helpful at getting us onto the right size bikes and explaining the route - highly recommend!

My family has been using Beach Realty to book our summer Cape vacation week for 6 years. I can…read morehonestly say that if every company ran their operation as smoothly as Beach Realty, the world would be a much better place. Their customer service is top notch, they will bend over backwards to accommodate any reasonable request, and the rental rates are competitive with any other area of Cape Cod. Our first year it poured for 6 of our 7 days, and when then sun finally came out as we were packing up, we called to see if we might rent for an additional day. The rain had caused some issues in the house so Beach Realty worked with the owners and allowed us to stay an extra day free of charge. One year we left one of my young son's favorite books as well as our baby monitor at the house, and after speaking with Beach Realty a box arrived at our home in Boston with everything we'd left without charging us for the shipping costs. On our recommendation my in-laws have also booked multiple stays with Beach Realty and have raved about every part of the experience. I would and often do highly recommend this company to friends and family and give them 5 stars. I'd also like to point out that the one negative post for this company seemed to be more about the rental house than the rental company. Yes...money goes a lot further in North Carolina than Cape Cod, no shocker there.

Last week was my third time renting a cottage from Beach Realty. I can't say enough about how…read moreawesome these rentals are! First of all, location, location, location! Oceanfront with private beaches. Next, the houses range from modest cottages that sleep 4, to huge homes. Something in everyone's price range. The houses are clean and well-stocked with all the necessities. You can bring your own linens or you can rent anything you can't (or don't want to) bring. And finally, the fun as well as the peace and quiet! Beach Realty enforces the occupancy limit so if you are looking to rent a party house and cram a lot of people into it, this is not the place for you. But if you are looking for a house, large or small, to share with family and friends, it's a perfect area. Lots to do including kayaking, swimming, boating, shopping, or just hanging out on your very private beachfront. Love them!
