Not only is there a wide selection of cards, stationery, notebooks, gift wrap, etc., but they are all works of art. Don’t go looking for Hallmark cards here because what you’ll find is the most unique one-of-a-kind card and related items. The most surprising part is that they are all very very affordable. This is a must go to stop on Cape Cod.

I felt like I died and went to heaven! Miles of beach in either direction. The Atlantic Ocean stretching endlessly in front of you. A surreal, cerulean, blue sky above. Few other people here during our April trip. The water was cold but you could dip your toes in. I walked 2 miles in both directions from the parking lot. No seals but what I did encounter was a beautiful landscape that felt otherworldly. Nirvana! Supreme bliss! Don't tell anyone else about this gem!

The family house is within a mile of this beach so we love that it is close. There is less fear of the sharks to swim here so we can relax a bit more. We like to clam here and my boys liked to fish. a great, kid friendly beach due to the gentle waves.

Went with family and friends Even with the Covid we kept our distance. Unlike longhook there is easy access to the beach. Water is cold early in July but we did dip. My daughter and boyfriend - who stayed later than we did - saw a whale breaching off shore. Seals are a regular sight but thank goodness no sharks - Enjoyable day
