About

This small beach in a sheltered cove is great for kids for swimming and exploring and is popular with windsurfers as well as kayakers heading out to Monomoy.

Pleasant Street Beach has beautiful sunsets and interesting rock jetties to explore.

Dogs are allowed on the beach before 9:00a.m. and after 6:00p.m. Parking along Rt 28 or down alongside Jackknife Beach is free and does not require a sticker.

Small beach, but no crowds and close to parking. Great for kids, especially at low tide.

Jackknife Harbor Beach was great. We didn't have great weather but we were able to take the dogs there after 6 pm. They had so much fun running on the beach, swimming in the water, and running through the tall grassy area.

When not staying at home, this is always our go-to beach. We drive our boat, anchor there, and enjoy an afternoon of sunning and swimming.
