This lighthouse was the first light sailors glimpsed when reaching this side of the Atlantic Ocean.

You can’t pass up seeing the first light house in Cape Cod, which was commissioned by then President George Washington and built in the late 1700s.

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.

We came here last weekend, twice. It was a heat wave weekend, 4 day sof 90 degree's. All the national seashore beaches Marconi, Coastguard, Nauset Light, by 9am the lots were full We headed to Head of the meadow on recommendation from friends who are locals in the summer time. Because there was now lifeguards to the left parking lot, it was free! Big lot, bathrooms, and steep hill incline to get to the beach. Has to be one of my favorite places. Pristines sand, no rocks, plenty of room to social distance. Carry in and carry out. There were whales and seals from the shore, so cool to see a whale breach as your looking at the ocean. The waves were really good on Saturday, quieter on Sunday, a few tide pools when the tide is out. There is a resident lot which is big and i honestly don't think someone without a sticker can park there. Get there no later than 11am or it will be full. Best beach and a bit of a drive but so worth it!

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
