3. Race Point Beach, Massachusetts
The tip of Cape Cod really has it all if you’re looking for a top beach location in New England. As part of the Cape Cod National Seashore, this well-maintained section has stunning sunsets, a vibrant restaurant scene, and plenty of activity on the social calendar stretching well into the shoulder seasons. The nearby Province Lands Bike Trail is a paved way through the beach forest and up and over dunes with stunning water views.
4. Coast Guard Beach, Massachusetts
While there is no way to seriously rank one Cape Beach from another, there is little dispute from visitors that Coast Guard Beach in Eastham is simply take-your-breath-away gorgeous. Often recognized as one of the top 10 on various lists of America’s Best Beaches, sun worshippers find it hard to disagree. Large, dramatic dunes back the flat, sandy beach, which is regularly full of volleyball games, boogie boarders, surfers, and sunseekers.
