Coast Guard Beach, Eastham

It's a gorgeous beach, just like all of the ones on the Cape. The proximity to Nauset Lighthouse is wonderful as it gives people two things to do at the same space so if someone needs a break from the beach, it's a nice walk to the lighthouse. The reason I think it's a four instead of five star beach is because it's not the most handicap accessible. If you're going with someone older, who has trouble walking or even with a lot of little kids, I don't think the walkway would be easy to do, especially if you're doing it in the crowded summer days.

It's a good place to swim around and pretend you're a seal. Lots of fun here floating around the waves pretending I'm a seal, trying to leave all my troubles back on shore. Trying to act like an injured seal is even more fun too.!!!

Clean, breathtaking beach - plenty of space throughout the year, even summer. Can be accessed by Cape Cod rail trail. Parking is apparently limited, so we always come by bike. The views of the ocean and nearby bay never fail to amaze with their beauty.

Great beach. Run by natl. park service. Fee covers parking and tram ride -made it easy and painless to park and get to beach. Bathrooms, showers, and lifeguards. You are part of the food chain. One to three seals always swimming by close to shore. Just have to stay close in because of the sharks. Water was refreshing. Beautiful beach. We got lucky with a perfect day.

Go at your own risk. It was really frustrating because there were no digital signage indicating that access to this beach is exclusively through parking at the nearby shuttle lot; locals and tourists alike were constantly trying to enter and turn around and find the shuttle lot. It’s $25 to park and take the dirty shuttle that never gets wiped down after each use. And despite the requirement to wear a face mask, the shuttle driver never wore a face mask and not a single person on the beach wore a face mask. I mean, not even lazily with the nose exposed and not even around the neck; not a single person wore their face mask on the beach. The views are nice, and there are lifeguards on site, but know ahead of time there’s no sanitization of the shuttle and no one on the beach wore a mask.
