Cape Cod National Seashore has something for everyone, from hiking at beautiful Fort Hill to open ocean swimming at Marconi and Nauset Beaches, to biking the trails around the Salt Pond Visitor Center. A great family destination!

Amazing views, definitely worth the trip. Went to a lighthouse, very interesting & guide was informative. Visited several beaches, each worth the trip. A little cold at times, so bring a jacket.

This place is awesome. It used to be a regular summer hangout for our family when we lived in NY. Ran up there once every couple of years I reconnected with friends last month and had a blast. Make sure to visit the various visitor centers around the Cape. I recommend exploring the length of it all the way to... More

The beaches and trails of the National Seashore are a joy and a blessing each time I visit the Cape. They connect me with nature and rejuvenate my body and spirit. Add in the history and ambiance of lighthouses, the Marconi site, the dunes and the tides, the quintessential towns along the way, and the legendary P-town at the tip... More

We dont have beaches like that in Europe! One would like to walk and walk and walk......but it was still very cold and windy last week. But the sun came out and the surf was stunning and the restrooms still closed. I dont know what it is with restrooms in the USA. You can't improve these wonderfull beaches, the infrastructure...

Stop at the Visitor's Center to pick up a trail map and head out to do some exploring. There are trails, lighthouses, historic sites and beaches to check out. Currently the Marconi site was inaccessible due to dune issues but the view was great. There is a gift shop, restrooms, and a place to stamp your passport book onsite as... More

Nice weather still in October without large crowds made the seashore and enjoyable experience. We started at the visitor center then drove up to P-town. We went back a second day to tour some light houses. Lovely!
