First Encounter Beach

Reviewed By JELPaints - Eastham, United States

You need an Eastham sticker, or you can pay the daily rate at the gate ($20, I think). There is a large parking lot as you enter, and this is the busiest part of the beach. But drive down further and park along the dunes for a private spot to enjoy the beach. At the very end, there is a creek, that is perfect for tubing. At low tide, walk out for a half mile -- and check out the oyster grants along the way. At high tide, a warm sandy swimming beach. There is a plaque in the parking lot commemorating the "first encounter" between the Mayflower pilgrims and the Native Americans. Beautiful, soft sand -- no rocks, no shells.

Nauset Light Beach

Reviewed By gladysbarros66 - Connecticut, United States

I have lived in New England for just about 42 years and I am only just now discovering the most enjoyable beach. With all the shark fan fare this year, I wanted to see if I could catch a glimpse at a fin, but to my surprise and enjoyment, I discovered the lovable seals playing in the waves. This is actually our second trip here in the past three weeks. Once we told our 15 year old daughter about the seals, she wanted to see them up close and not in an aquarium. So on a Friday after school we took the 3 hour ride and arrived just before dusk. It is a must see for animal lovers of all ages.
