We love Craigsville beach. Although it can be crowded, it is a great place to spend the day swimming of just relaxing with a book. The beach is clean, as are the on-site facilities. The water temperature is in the 70’sF - so perfect for swimming.

Long, walkable, and sandy beach. Perfect for swimming, as the water is warmer on this side. Food stands and ice cream nearby for midday snacks. Friendly town and people.

The beach is just perfect. The water is warm and clear, there are wash and change rooms on site, and it’s only 15 minutes from the cottage.

Easy pull up, large parking lot,
Just watch out for the seagulls when you eat. They like to dive bomb and steal your sandwich right out of your hand.

Not rocky, warmer water than some beaches. We went after 4 mostly to avoid $25 fee.

We like to walk on the beaches and look for special shells. This beach was very open at this time of year and it felt like our private beach.

We tried this beach too, which is not far from the cottage. It has bathrooms, lifeguards and two places to eat right across the street. It cost $ 25.00 to park for the day. The pass covers other beaches in the town too.

Very kid/family friendly! Clean bathrooms and a close by snack stand. We were able to find lots of pretty shells to bring home! The ocean was free of jellyfish. There was a few feet of seaweed at the entrance to the water but once you went past that, it was great! Lifeguards on duty. Only $25 to park for the day. About 30 minutes from the home we stayed at.

several smaller, quiet beaches very close to this home [Vacation Rental ID 24335]...while there are no crowds...a definite plus, the water was murky and at low tide it doesn't get deep....:(

Craigville beach was nice (sand is like dirt tho) clean and the water was refreshing...very crowded tho....

Love Cape Cod and the entire South Shore of MA...no better place in the world...:)

Craigville Beach is beautiful and very sandy. In Summer you pay $15 for a parking spot right next to the beach or you can park for free in Centerville and take a ten minute walk to the beach. There are plenty of cafes and shops nearby but there is no shade so be sure to take an umbrella

This is quintessential Cape Cod. The sand dunes on the beach provide a unique backdrop to the shimmering ocean waves. The sailboats in the far distant add to the serene, sweeping skyline of picturesque beauty that you will absorb as you settle in for a relaxing, tranquil day on the beach.

Awesome Beach. Waves are on the small side making it nice for kids. Plenty of space even when its very busy on the weekends. Parking lot is quite large and right there by the beach making it nice for those that bring a lot of gear to the beach for the day.
