A popular beach destination in the summer, Newcomb Hollow, is bordered by sand dunes. The sand is white and soft and the water is refreshing. You will need to descend and ascend steep sand dunes in order to access this beach so you may want to keep that in mind when deciding what items to bring to the beach. Parking sticker (resident, seasonal, weekly, or daily) is required.
Beautiful beach with alot of parking with a town sticker. On the weekends there was a truck with food, and there are decent bathrooms.

The beach was absolutely beautiful! The sand was soft and expansive, and the huge waves made it so much fun. It was also incredibly convenient to have a bathroom nearby and a food truck right on site. We loved being able to spend the day at the beach without having to worry about leaving for food or other necessities. It really had everything we could have asked for!

Hands down - the best beach in Wellfleet. Beautiful cliffs, the water was a clear green.The parking lot fills up fast, so you have to get there before 10.

Has a nice sandbar at low tide. Slight trek up/down a dune, but not too far from parking lot. Clean sand and water, nice waves for boogie boarding. Has restrooms and a food truck. Can have some sand flies that bite, only seemed to be a problem at dusk/dawn.

One of the easier beaches to walk on to for anyone with a limitation. We enjoyed watching the surfers. Pretty clean bathrooms and a food truck stationed near the beach entrance.

Easy access, parking great, food truck in parking lot was awesome, lifeguards right there, shark ping buoy was right there, beautiful sand and walking beach, not crowded like other beaches.

Newcomb Hollow is a great ocean-side beach. It's our favorite because the walk down the dunes isn't too steep. Also, there are public bathrooms, plenty of parking and a food/drink truck. Nothing like the National Seashore!
