Just a great place to sit back and enjoy the beach scene for a day. The water was clear and clean and there was plenty of beach to get your own personal space. One of the many must see beaches on the Cape.

While sitting in our chairs enjoying the beautiful weather and this incredibly beautiful beach, we saw whales feeding off shore. I was glad that I had brought our binoculars. I watched for about 30 minutes and the whales even breached and jumped! Great time!

Thee beach is fun. It's so big that the beach is not crowded but in the summer don't go aat high tide. Yoe will need to shuttle from the parking lot but it's not bad. pay close attention to the life guards because of a strong possible riptide.

Great beach area. Has outdoor shower to wash off the salt with. and rest rooms and changing rooms. The only thing I did not like that much...the showers had only cold water. Nice on a hot day, but cold on a cool day

Plunk her down in the sand with a pail, or a bag to gather shells, rocks, and other items washed up on the beach and she'll... More

It was a perfect place to walk on a brisk winter day, to enjoy the surf and the scenery. The walk from the Salt Pond Visitor Center was full of lovely sights and sounds also!

We walked south until we couldn't go any further, and then walked back north until we ran out of daylight. It was beautiful!

We live on the Cape all summer and love Coast Guard Beach. It is beautiful and if you enjoy New England beaches and enjoy the cold water, this is great place. My heart sings here.

Lots of beach for walking or sitting while enjoying the surf. Nice in the summer but best on a warm autumn day.
