Beautiful views

Turn right along the beach

Turn right when your back is facing the lighthouse and walk along the beach to the amazing “ natural art installation” made of flotsam and jetsam . It’s possible to walk there and back within the 30 min parking allowance . Ignore the coach parties...More

Quiet beach, calm water

We took the jitney from town to this little off-the-beaten path beach. $15 to park, with free shuttle service. Tip the lot attendant/driver--it's worth it.

Beautiful!

We parked for free for 30minutes and walked down to see the water/sand. No one is able to swim even though the water looks calm. You can see the seals piled up on the sandbar in the distance and even hear them. The sand is...More

Beautiful beach but limited parking time. Plenty of parking above the beach but only for 30 minutes. We did not know where else to park so we went to another beach.

Great question! There is 30 minute parking in the lot along the road at the beach. It is enforced, and during the summer often not available. There is also a parking lot less than a mile away in Chatham center where parking... More
