Great place to run or walk or bike. On weekends, check to see if any race is going on, because you could potentially get trampled by bicycles or runners. Overall, very nice place to visit and to get some physical activity. One thing I don't like is the fact that some people do not pick up after their dogs and leave piles in the middle of the road. This is lazy and disrespectful. But I do go in there often.

Since our only times here have been on probably the busiest day of the year, please take that into consideration with my review. The not so great: Parking is a bit tight, but not impossible if you got a bit of patience. There are no public restrooms, this year (2024) there didn't seem to be any bins for dog poop or trash, there is only one water station at the front. The good: With the exception of one family not checking their dog's resource guarding, every other dog we saw was so well behaved with responsible owners. Between the beach, the walking path, and the hill, there's so much opportunity to run out your pup! While we were a bit bummed that high tide took away the ability to walk the entirety of the peninsula on the beach, the water was clearer than it is during low tide, so we'd definitely recommend a high tide visit. After a little over an hour there, our German Shepherds were completely wiped out and even after the 40-minute ride home where they napped, they were still conked until dinner time.

We walked a bit to the right and there were so many dogs - it must be an unofficial dog park, or happy hour for the dogs. They were all so cute. My friend had come before so he recommend we walk to Wright's Tower since it gives a vast view of the neighboring houses and landscape but also Boston in the far distance. It was a perfect hike of about 45 minutes there, and about an hour back since we did trailblaze a bit. We were following a GPS, but there are colors and signs periodically on the trees to guide you through the trails. I wouldn't say its too scenic, but it is relaxing and the terrain is perfect, with some spots being intermediate level but mostly all of it being beginner or easy. We did see some people on bikes, and others jogging. When we got to the tower, we went inside and climbed the stairs to the top. From there, you can look out in all directions to get some really nice views. It is worth the climb. We plan on eventually going back and trying longer or more challenging trails. But overall I think it's a gem that isn't too far from the city.

Could Dune Shacks Trail be the 8th wonder of the world? I don't know man...but I feel like it is…read more When hubs located these dunes as part of our nature escape in Ptown, I was like...."ok" and shrugged my shoulders. But once we started ascending on a narrow sand path leading to the tallest peak, all we saw was a stretch of pure gold and imagined some desperate soul running frantically looking for water. Even with the frigid late December visit here, make sure you bundle. Hiking on sand was difficult especially since we wore denims- but definitely wear leggings or joggers to get the most mobility as you hike up. We didn't prep ourselves mentally- so once we got to that tallest peak, we came back down and never saw past the end of the dune and into the ocean. Dune Shacks could well be that place that combines the dune+beach beautifully together. What a dramatic and lovely place to visit. If you're into the breeze rustling your hair and really sinking your boots in the sand, this spot's for you.

Cape Cod is one of the most visited areas in the country and once you visit you will understand why. You can expect tranquility and phenomenal views of a pristine barrier beach and vibrant salt marshes. The sounds of the reeds blowing in the wind is nothing less than paradise and the pine woodlands are a birders delight. They also have an award-winning, economically friendly nature center with wildlife views, aquariums and educational exhibits. The sanctuary offers many programs for all ages based on research and conservation projects focusing on ecologically threatened birds, horseshoe crabs, and sea turtles. When you visit Memorial Day through Labor Day, the trails are open from 8am-dusk. Early October to late May- they're closed on Mondays, but Tues-Saturday you can visit 8:30am-5:00pm. For non-Audubon members it is $8 for adults, $5 for seniors and $3 for the little ones (ages 2-12). EBT participants are free for up to 4 people when you show your card. This is such a wonderful experience and an educational goldmine for any age! Go. Just go... and that folks is all she wrote.
