Craigville Beach

I highly recommend this reserve if you want a quiet escape into nature. The 4-star environment is very peaceful and perfect for birdwatching. It’s a pet-friendly area with necessary amenities like restrooms, making it easy to spend a few hours exploring the estuarine beauty.

Craigville Beach in Barnstable Ma. On a hot summer day it will attract a good diverse crowd of all ages. It's also a long beach. The parking lot can get filled with both pay-parking or Barnstable resident Stickers. Many times from June on the waters have been 71 degrees AMAZING!!

What's excellent about "all" the Cape Cod beaches, they are not overrun with endless mobs or constant roar of vehicles and you wont have the activity of "T

Huge beach compared to small town beaches. It cost $30 to park. Clean, relatively warm in Cape Cod, wave depends on the current wind, not too clear water.

This place was okay. Beach was sandy vs rocky. Water was clean but pretty choppy. Lots of seashells. Was a bit of a crowd even though we went mid-day on a weekday. The restrooms were not open. Only 1 porta potty that was pretty gross. We went 20 min up the road to Sandy Neck beach and thought it was better.

Gorgeous beach. Clean, not crowded, off season. Plenty of parking. 10 min. From where we were. Near food, liquor, gas, Dunks, etc. Spent the afternoon having lunch and then napping on the beach on a 70 degree Thursday in October!
