Create an itinerary including Marconi Beach
Enjoy a sweeping view of the Cape Cod Bay at Marconi Beach, gently sloping into the Atlantic Ocean. This is a popular spot for surfing, boogie boarding, and skimboarding. Animal lovers should keep their eyes peeled for seals, often spotted just off shore. Near the beach is the area's top attraction--Marconi Station, from which Italian inventor Marconi made the first successful transatlantic wireless communication from the United States.

  • Absolutely love Marconi Beach. It is clean and well cared for. Although it is a great place for all - it is particulary fun for kids and family. The past few years there has been shark sightings...

  • Wow. AmAYYzing. If you like waves, wow. Bring the protective shoes for there are many small rocks and pebbles. Water was 62°F. But once in, you adapt fast to the cold water temp. Saw 1 seal from far 😅 Other than that WOW wow wow Loveeeeeeed it
  • I surely recommend this beach to others. I go every summer to Cape Cod and this beach is one of the traditions. The waves can be very harsh at points but are great for swimming and surfing. The bathrooms don't have the best quality, like most beaches. I found large mosquitoes in the stalls. Make sure you expect a crowd of people. Otherwise, this beach is great for Cape Cod locals or anybody!👍
  • Hike from the car! Only take what you want to bring back up a couple flights of stairs! But listening to the rocks roll in the waves is fantastic 🥰 we also saw 2 seals? Sea lions hanging out in the water 😮😎 they were there for the entire 3-4 hours
  • Came in late September for a “dark sky” program held by the National Seashore staff. We were able to see stars over the dark Atlantic Ocean, as well as Jupiter, Saturn, and the Andromeda galaxy through some telescopes. Overall it was a very fun experience with lots of information about the night sky. (We were also able to see a Spacex launch that night, but that was a little before we reached the beach)
  • Good amount of parking and the sand was super soft! We also saw several large seals only a few feet off the coast which was really cool.
