South Cape Beach State Park — Attraction in Mashpee

Nice state beach! Less crowded than some of the other beaches I've been to on the cape. I usually go mid week during the summer and have to leave my house super early to get to the cape before traffic hits. I was very surprised to find that from 7 to 9 we were the only ones on the beach! By about 11 a few other families had shown up but there was so much space no one was bothered.

Easy access via a boardwalk surrounded by Cape Roses and blue skies that leads from the parking lot to the sandy beach entrance. A fine view of Martha's Vineyard across the Sound and miles of warm saltwater beach await you. Changing rooms, comfort stations, picnic tables and scheduled nature classes for youth...
