This is arguably the most scenic bike trail in Cape Cod. It has almost everything Cape Cod bike trails have to offer: the marsh, the cranberry bog, picturesque cape towns, and of course the shining sea. A few tips: Near the Woods Hole terminus of the trail, there is a very good bakery called Pie in the Sky, which is a good stop to refuel. Also from there, the Nobska lighthouse is close by (~1 mile away), which also worth a side trip.

Before you go.. there is very limited parking. Please try to walk or bike there for a visit. No large gatherings, events or functions are allowed on the Knob property. Nature trails run among the beach, rock and trees of this hidden shelter. Please leave the property as you found it. Dogs are allowed but only on leash. Please clean-up after your dog. This is a non-smoking property.
You won't just discover this place. Even when you park, you will have to search for the path through the "tunnel" to entrance. A very unique vista of buzzard bay all year round.TAKE THE RIGHT ST THE FORK!

As you turn into the road leading to the lighthouse you are struck by the beautiful view of the ocean to your right. The lighthouse is on a hill to the left. The view from the lighthouse is gorgeous and a great place to take pictures.

I love this beach and visit whenever I am on the Cape. This year we decided to go at low tide and enjoyed an incredible walk. It’s amazing to see how far out the beach actually goes. We saw a lot of oyster beds, sand crabs and lots of families with their kids trying to net sand crabs. It was a beautiful outing.

Came here to watch the sunset (check out one of the pix below). Parking was free (night time nobody cares), but we also found the beach itself was very nice. People swimming at dusk too. Great spot to see the sunset in Falmouth. We definitely also want to come back to use the beach in the daytime.
