Sky above. Sand below. Peace within … Cape Beaches
You can find the Harwich Beach brochure here. Harwich beaches require beach parking stickers between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Beach stickers can be purchased online here or at the Harwich Chamber of Commerce @ 1 School House Road, Harwichport. All that is required for visitors is a valid vehicle registration. One-week stickers cost $65.
Most other towns operate under a similar model with daily and/or weekly stickers available for purchase on their websites.
Our favorite beaches include:
Bank St (Harwich)
Red River (Harwich)
Long Pond (Harwich)
Mayflower (Dennis)
Ellis Landing (Brewster)
Skaket (Orleans)
Explore. Dream. Discover.
