Race Point Beach:
This big and beautiful beach is located at the very tip of Cape Cod and is part of the National Seashore. Sun worshippers should note that Race Point, because it is a north facing beach, gets sun all day long. Don't forget to bring your surf caster when the 'Blues' are running.
Directions: Off Route 6

The water here is quite a bit warmer and calmer than the water at Race Point. This beach is arguably the best place to watch the sunset on Cape Cod.

Harbor Beach:
Located downtown this is a great beach to take a stroll on and get away from the hustle and bussle of Commercial Street.
Directions: Runs parallel to Commercial Street. Park at the town lot on MacMillan Wharf
