Popular with 4WD owners—one needs special permits to drive on the beach. A Cape Cod Bay beach, backed by low sand dunes giving it a very private feel, this beach is perfect for ,swimming, sunbathing and exploring the tidal flats.
Love this beach for littles during low tide!

Amazing tide pools with so much marine life! We even saw a group of seals while swimming.

We already knew we loved Mayflower beach from our trip last year, but Chaplin was new to us this year. The way it transformed from tide pools to explore to the perfect depth water for littles to float and swim over the course of the morning was really perfect for us!

White sand, clear turquoise water - feels lile you’re in the Caribbean.

Beautiful beach that you can walk out about 200 yards at low tide. Amazing tidal flats you could put a chair on and feel like you are in the middle of the ocean. Amazing sunsets.

This was such a heaven on earth beach. We were mind blown with the views and excited about how much fun our kids had.

At low tide, you can walk out for miles into the ocean and the sunset is one of the most amazing on the cape.

We discovered the amazing sunsets at Chapins Beach on our first trip here. We loved it so much that we got married on this beach this year. It was an amazing and picture-perfect “pop up” wedding ceremony that delighted our friends and strangers alike!
