I feel like as a daytime beach visit this isn't my favorite but this absolutely takes the lead for an after dinner stop... and therefore deserves this second review :) Also correction to my previous review-- it is not free parking during peak season prime time hours, but it is free after dinner.

Turquoise clear just like the carribeean! Was stunning. Deducting a star because it's resident sticker only so if you don't live here you cant drive here. I was able to go on my bike. 1 mile off the bike trail. Wish the beach was open to the public even for a fee. Also tons of guppies in the water which is cute but they kept following me around!

A great kid's beach. This one boasts a sand-bar marshy-river type area that's really shallow and…read morefull of crabs, little fish, and other sea critters for kids to examine. There are always lots of mothers and kids on that portion of the beach any time of day (it's also fun for anyone that likes to examine sea creatures...even if you aren't a kid anymore). The actual "real" beach part has grown steadily rockier and the shoreline has definitely receded over time so there isn't as much pure sand as there used to be which is too bad, it was one of my favorites back in the day. It still boasts some nice swimming, especially at low tide when you have to walk for a really long time to even get to water to swim in. Not too sea-weedy usually either but again, the rocks abound. There is a lovely view though and you can walk to Black Beach and all the way to Chapoquoit as well (fantastic walk, highly recommended!).

Like any beach in the Cape, this was a great stop. We came here during the early evening, which was…read morefree. There is plenty of sand room to fit enough people. The view is lovely, with houses nearby and Lewis Bay, seeing across the body of water. It can be windy on some days, as happened during our visit. Luckily, there were no significant incidents, but keep that in mind. There is a lot of parking space at Kalmus, which also connects to the other three beaches. In the parking lot, there is a snack bar and also a bathroom.

Very nice beach. Parking is 25.00 but it allows access to other beaches and in and out travel.read more

This is the main beach in old Falmouth. We have used it for decades, even when here in winter, just…read moreto walk on a beach. It has ample parking and if you live here you can buy a season pass. If you are just visiting, you will pay $20 for the day to park but you can go in and out several times. Just have the attendant of the day sign the ticket as you go out and show it again when you return. In the winter when it's too cold to swim, there is no lifeguard or attendant and you can go in and out at will. There is a building with showers on the outside to get the sand off before getting in your car. There is no refreshment stand. You can also walk in from the beach homes nearby. We did a summer rental a few years ago and it was only 4 blocks to the beach and no fee to enter. There is no shade at all. People bring umbrellas and even camping tents, especially if they also bring a small child who may need a nap and shade. It was a hot day mid-summer when we were there this year and it was too hot for me, so we did not stay long. It's always nice, though, to sit and watch the boats go by, even if not up to a swim. We and our kids always collected shells here long ago when they were small. My husband still collects shells, though he looks for the more unusual ones still in the water. This year when we were there, it was very busy with families and kids running in and out of the water and having great fun, like our kids had done, decades ago. Whenever we go to Falmouth, no matter the season, we always visit this beach.

Surf Drive Beach is the site of the Old Stone Dock, attacked during the War of 1812. It was once where "packets" (mail ships) set sail.

One can watch osprey, gulls, and cormorants. It's more for relaxation than swimming. Beautiful eastern views.

I was thinking the typical pizza shops, arcades, and ice cream shops along the beach and sitting in the sand to watch sunset (that's how our boardwalks are like down by the Jersey shore). I was pleasantly surprised that it was a single boardwalk that led to a spot with benches to watch the sunset. It held such a peaceful vibe that even when talking to my partner, I tried my best to whisper to maintain that peaceful atmosphere. I loved all the nature that you are able to witness here -- the long stretches of sand, the marshlands and the osprey nest, and the Cape Cod bay out ahead. I truly enjoyed this hidden gem, and I highly recommend it for watching sunset if you're in the area :) reminder that it is an environmentally sensitive area, so do treat the area with respect and keep its cleanliness (take any trash back with you if you have any!)
