One of the really popular beaches on the south side of the Cape, featuring Nantucket Sound’s warm water. This beach has full facilities and lifeguards provided by the town of Yarmouth. There is a daily parking fee in season. It has a large parking lot, but get there early on a hot day, especially on the weekend if you expect to find a parking spot. The beach is good size, clean and sandy, with great swimming. Bass River runs adjacent to the beach, providing a constant parade of sail and motor boats, and there is a boardwalk and nice areas to sit at the river’s edge, providing a great view of the activity. You can walk quite a distance along the shore from Bass River, in front of the many hotels that line the shore.
