Cahoon Hollow Beach — Attraction in Wellfleet

I have summered on the Cape since birth. Born in Wareham, then started out in Falmouth(Johnson Street) then headed out to Harwichport due to my growing family. This beach has always been the pinnacle of any summer event or experience. Great for the family, young adults, older adults, etc, you get the picture.

My all time favorite beach with some of the best memories of my life and I'm sure there will be many more. This place gets pretty crowded in the summer, so if you know about the Cape's best beach to go too then please, I beg you, keep it on the down low, lol, if you know what I mean and concur, thanks, if not why not bring your entire highschool class, I'm sure we can fit you all in.

Besides the crowds that can get very heavy in summer, it's important to keep track of your favorite tide and show up accordingly. Due to the Beachcomber(a bar, restaurant and concert venue) possessing a grandfather clause which allows them to exist at the top of the hill and charge for parking but I am not complaining, good for them I say, I digress. The Beachcomber provides the second best reason this place rocks. Food, booze, music and plenty of people all milling about, everyone living the good beach bum life. If the parking lot is full just head down to White Crest. It's basically the same beach and you can make your way down to the crowds and Beachcomber from there too while enjoying a robust and scenic walk.

All in all this place is just... 🤐😶.

To access the beach you need to do so through Beachcomber!

That means

If you drive then the parking fee is $30 at Beachcomber. They give you a voucher that can be used later to purchase food but not drinks.

Their parking area fills up pretty quickly so if you don't start early (10 am) you won't find any spot to park and as a result they will redirect you to a different beach. There is NO other spot over there to park. "Cops will give you a ticket if you park by the road"

A lot of beaches in Cape Cod require permit to park in their corresponding parking areas. If you don't have one then it's almost impossible to find a spot around these areas to park. Make sure the beach you plan to visit has publicly available parking areas.

The two closest beaches to Cahoon Hollow Beach require a parking permit. Only locals have that permit. If you aren't a local then you won't be able to park over there.

If Beachcomber parking area is full and you don't have a permit then your options are either the Marconi or the Head of the Meadow Beach with both offering public parking areas.

If you don't want to wake up early then I'll recommend someone dropping you at the beach instead of driving there. Make sure you schedule a...

Beautiful beach. It's worth the haul back up the dune. Get there before 9 for the most convenient parking. Plenty of additional parking across the street. It is $30/day parking, which is standard for a lot of Cape Cod parks. However, they give you a coupon for $30 off purchases in food or gift shop. I was going to do it for convenience. They were slammed, so I wasn't sure about the quality, but everything was outstanding. Big, crispy filet of flaky haddock, homemade sides like coleslaw, 1&1/2lbs steamers, piping hot. It was a great deal. Super busy-packed with a wait from 11:30 on. If tight crowds aren't your thing, this may not be your place, but I found a bar seat early, and everything was great. I don't know how the bartenders held it together, but the service wasn't lacking there either. Empties/trash were cleared by whatever staff walked by, friendly staff, but feverishly busy. Everyone's different, but I tipped at the full meal cost (not the price after coupon). Easy ride in, perfect place for a full,...
