Also, enjoyed this beach it was small and very family friendly. We arrived at 4 and parking was free starting at 4. Plenty of room to swim, play or relax on beach. The beach and parking area was clean.
I can't claim to be an expert on Cape Cod's beaches but having followed reviews and visited some of those recommended I can definitely say that this beach was the most outstanding. The view of the bay when you pass the restrooms and the food kiosk is stunning and if you walk to the right past the crowds clustered here you will be able to find a peaceful place in between the dune grass that fringes the shoreline. After a doze in the sun there is plenty of space for ball games and long walks. There is also a lovely little creek to explore. We took a picnic and spent a perfect day there. The parking charge is $15 for the day.
We arrived at 9am on a Labor Day weekend Saturday, after our drive into the Cape. There was plenty of parking (and in fact, to address parking concerns, the lot didn't fill up until close to noon), and it was so peaceful that early in the morning. The beach is small but during low tide, there are tons of "pools" for the kids to play and splash in. The water was warm and inviting. It seemed like a "locals" beach and we really enjoyed that. There's a snack bar and great amenities too. We will definitely return to Skaket.
Safe water, lovely sand, rock pools, space, pretty sand dunes lovely views, toilets, small cafe/shop. Loved it.
A terrific Bay beach. Unique shoreline. And worth the wait every day for picture perfect sunsets. One of the most photographically ideal locations for sunset shots.Good parking and access. Lots of friendly folks there each day taking in those breathtaking vistas....
Like all Cape Cod beaches, Skaket offers idyllic views and a serene environment. It is a haven for beach lovers but easily accessible too. It is clean and well suited to family's and couples alike.
Very little in the way of visitors in late October so taking sunset photography was no issue. No parking charges at this time of the year.
We went here early, set up and watched the kids play in the shallow water. It has a slight smell, as it is on the bay side, but the kids loved it. You can find clams, hermit crabs and horseshoe crabs, too.
Skaket Beach is perfect for families with small children. When the tide is in, the water is shallow with very low wave activity. When the tide is out, you can walk a mile out on the flats. The small tidal pools abound in tiny hermit crabs and are great for toddlers to explore. Great place to watch the sunsets. In the off-season, locals like to park and eat lunch. On clear days you can see the Provincetown monument in the distance. Relaxing.
We have been coming to this area for the past 25 years and find this beach to be the best for all ages, clean sand with lots of little pools left behind when the tide is out for kids to play in.
