Best Cape Cod Beaches for Families
Submitted by Kelley Heyworth on
Wide, clean, and blanketed with soft sand, the Cape Cod National Seashore boasts miles upon miles of beaches that are great for kids and families. While many Cape Coddians claim their local spot is tops, the following beaches check all the boxes essential for family fun, including plenty of space, fun (but not too intense) waves, and helpful extras like lifeguards, bathrooms, and easy parking that can make a good beach day a great one.
Once you've had your fill of sandcastling and shelling, go explore the region's charming towns for more fun things for kids to do at the Cape. If you want to experience our Massachusetts shoreline with an island vibe, check out our favorite beaches and activities on Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, too. Cape Cod happens to be the home of one of our favorite Drive in Movie Theaters In and Around Boston for Outdoor Movie Night with Kids. And if you need to cool off closer to the city, see our list of the Best Sprinkler Parks annd Splash Pads in Boston.
