It's called "the jetty" by townies. It's long (over a mile), can be hazardous in spots, can be underwater in two spots - but hey, if 80 year-old grandmothers can do this, so can you. The view is spectacular. Unless it's real hot, the constant wind can chill you out. You can swim off the rocks, depending on the tides which can approach a 13-foot swing. On the other side, the Long Point area of Cape Cod (and the geographical terminus of our sandy peninsular), you can bring beach stuff and food and spend the day having a beach almost all to yourselves. Oh, yeah, best of all, it's free. Just be mindful of the tides because you can get trapped. Don't worry, you can always walk the beach back. I live here and never fail to "do the jetty" with my company.

Reviewed By Chitistone - Newton, United States
Walked here early one January morning during the pandemic. The place is vast, pristine, and secluded. I had it entirely to myself the whole three or so hours I was there taking photos and videos. There were maybe one or two sets of tracks of people with dogs. Lots of color, even in January. Lots of gulls, cormorants and terns. Other reviews say much, but here are a few things to keep in mind. Parking at the trailhead on Rt. 6 is limited to three spots. Folks park along 6, but I'm not sure this is allowed. You can park on the South side of 6, but if you do be VERY CAREFUL crossing! Not really a very long walk in terms of miles, but walking in sand is *very* slow. Bring what you'd bring on a hike twice as long on normal trail. As with most beach walks, low tide is better.
