Amazing beach. Sadly the pier is currently closed (and has been for months) but we still had a great time watching the beautiful sunset from the many sandbars and hunting for hermit crabs. 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. read more

Amazing little spot but if you going for the long dock it is currently closed to renovate.. but a cute little beach. read more

A local brought us here bc it's one of her favorite spots. A little windy, but the boardwalk is a great way to experience the gorgeous sunset. Try reading all the inscriptions along the way. read more

What a fantastic find!! There are no signs leading to this beach but if you're in the area you HAVE TO STOP HERE! Bring a wind breaker or a jacket of some sort!!! read more

Magical is an understatement. True hidden gem. Yes it is $20 to park. Small parking lot but there are bathroom facilities. Small beachfront. But sitting on the beach isn't why one would come here... A beautiful stroll through the marsh down the boardwalk to the end.. there is some seating. Had a lovely conversation for almost an hour with some of the locals. Truly feels like another world there. read more

Heaven Quiet expansive yes there is a fee But that's how it's taken of -- Magnificent view all day place tides with walk able pools ---great ! read more

Great place to bring your kids! It's a must to go for the sunset. We will definitely return to Grays Beach again.

Careful of the predatory parking attendants especially if you are from out of state. Rather than reserve one or two spots for someone to wait for a pickup or drop off, the staff prefers to harass you about moving your car or paying $25 for 5 minutes of waiting. They have conveniently forgotten it is a tourist driven economy. Find another beach instead. read more

Very small, intimate beach that is great for families. Parking is very limited and $20 if you do not have a resident sticker. If you aren't there by 11 am it's unlikely you'll find parking. During low tide, it is perfect for little ones to explore tide pools and you can do long walks out onto the sandbar. There is a short boardwalk that takes you over the water and allows for some nice pictures. No food options nearby so make sure you pack snacks. Lifeguards are also stationed here though the water is pretty shallow and you aren't going to see any waves. Watch out for the sand gnats though. If you come out in the morning or dusk when it is cool, prepare to be swarmed. They'll disappear once it's warmer and the sun is out. There is also a launch for boats and kayaks though limited parking for trailers. If you like hiking there are a set of trails nearby that are amazing. That said on busy beach days that involve bigger families, your better bet is to go to a larger beach. Not worth the inconvenience of showing up to find the lot is full. read more

Gorgeous beach that has free parking! Not very big sand area. A bit rocky. The swimming area is more ideal for kayaking. Great nature walk on other half of the beach area. Long "board walk"(narrow ) that has dedication on each and every wood plank that leads deep into the vibrant greens sea grass & water pools. Just standing there beats any mindfulness app. This was our last stop before heading back to our beloved NJ. Great way to end our Cape Cod vacation. An elite Yelper spotted this quaint project by elementary students. The image warmed our hearts.We decided to contribute and spent a few days at home in NJ creating a bunch of hand painted rocks with inspiration. We weren't sure where on the beach this sign was located. (To the left of the boardwalk)( and another was in front of church in Province Town) read more

This was one of the most beautiful beaches I stopped at on the Cape. There are some really nice walking trails with tons of seabirds that I was able to capture with my camera. read more

When the sky is clear, head down to the beach parking lot; brings chairs and nibbles. Enjoy a spectacular moonrise.

Great walking pier crystal clear water many fish visible. Great visibility around. Not a huge beach area though so if you beach sand hunting look elsewhere read more

It's a bit pebbly with more rocks in the sand than ideal, especially if you're walking barefoot, which we were. But because it's conveniently located with a short small path leading directly up to it, we went there. I loved that there are these enterprising people--'entrepreneurs' if you will--who rent out beach chairs and umbrellas for $20 an hour. read more

AN ABSOLUTELY MUST DO! Gray's Beach On Cape Cod in Yarmouth Ma is a Beautiful Small Polar Opposite Beach. It contains 2 completely different contrasting landscapes - the Marshland & The Ocean all in 1 place. There is Free Parking with a limited amount of parking spaces. If you can't get in Uber or Lyft it. On one side there are green Marshes with an Intricate Roadway of Marshland carved out by Mother Nature & The ocean. We went at low tide & saw how deep the channels were & all the curves & winding turns the water made into the marshland. It is Truly Beautiful. The empty roadway of marshes fills up with ocean water at high tide for yet another stunning different view. There are wooden benches here to sit & take in the view. Then there is a long wooden quintessential Cape Cod Boardwalk that reaches over the Marshland. Wooden planks with people's name are engraved on each plank. Take a walk to the end of the Boardwalk for yet another different stunning view. There is a bench to sit on at the end there too. The water here is Sea Glass Green. Then travel back to the beginning & Hit the beach on the opposite side & do a little swimming or boating or paddle boarding. The water here on this side is Crystal Clear. Two completely opposite landscapes on one beach makes for some beautiful photos. It is also Gorgeous to watch the sun set here at night. It used to be, you had to have mega bucks & be really rich to have the Good Life, not anymore. The Game has changed. You've been Upgraded. Now You Can Live Like a King on a Limited Budget . read more

A stunning review of the Cape Cod bay that includes both marshland and beach scenery from one viewpoint. This is a great place to visit at any time of year. There is ample free parking and a newly renovated expansive boardwalk that allows you to soak in the views from any advantage point. While the beach is not expansive, there is still ample space to sit and enjoy the water. Great place for a quiet retreat, launch a kayak, or to bring children to play in the estuaries. Beautiful sunsets and memories to be made here! read more

Pretty boardwalk for sunset pictures. A bit crowded once you get to the end. People standing around waiting for the sun to go down. Beach was small. Bring bugspray!!! The bugs were awful walking on the boardwalk read more

This beach is really interesting - there's a cute bridge dock to walk out to, the tide comes in and the water is a little warm, and for the more adventurous - swimmers can swim out or get in a boat and paddle out. The beach closer to the ocean is filled with seashells, gulls, and lots of open space. read more

Update: the town in its infinite wisdom is now charging a $15 parking fee for non-residents for Gray's. I'm ambivalent about this but as the last really neato free little beach on the bay side, it's a pity. See previous review for more details. read more

Great little beach to take the kids. Quiet little beach to check out for part of an afternoon to explore tidepools and dip your toes in the water. Nice dock/boardwalk to walk out to with gorgeous views. read more

I've been comjng to this part of the Cape for 40 years!! Spending my entire summer for almost 20 of those years, day after school was out u til the day before it began. I spent many hours and days walking the Chapin Beach mudflats & exploring the dunes, even finding my young self up to my knees in the muddy sand around the Aquacultural research station. In all those years we stayed close to our summer home not venturing outside of Chapin amd Mayflower beach. I was AMAZED at the beauty of this boardwalk, its absolutely stunning especially at sunset. Be careful of tides and currents and do your research before making any risky treks across to Chapin Beach or too far out at low tide especially in this spot, the tide moves slow and the currents arent the worst, but they can creep in behind you and while ur on dry tidal flats there can be a surprising and faster than it seems tide moving in behind you and some have found themselves in water over there heads on the way back. The tide stays out longer if you head eastward toward Mayflower instead of straight back in if this happens. read more

Very small beach. Really nice for little kids, our older Kids got a bit bored after an hour, but we like big waves! If you're looking for a quiet place with pretty views and don't mind being close to others, this place is great. read more

Five stars for the sunsets and boardwalk but it would be zero for the beach there. Nice picnic area and for a small fee, you can rent, through the town, that area for large group gatherings. It also goes by Grey's beach or Bass Hole area. If you go on a humid day or evening without any breeze, make sure to bring bug spray. read more

It's a nice and small beach. Perfect for kids and to stay there for not longer than 2-3 hours maximum, BUT if you have a kayak to go to the other side (Chapin Memorial Beach) than it's totally worth checking Grays beach. My husband and I have a kayak and we went summer/2016. Parking is free (Chapin Memorial Beach is $20). So, we parked at Grays, stayed there a little bit and kayaked to the other beach. There we could stay longer since it's big and you don't feel overwhelmed by kids. As I said, Gray is great for kids, so be prepare to see TONS of kids. read more

Super pretty, small beach with a lifeguard in season, a great jetty/boardwalk outlook area, and very clean bathrooms. There's an ice cream truck that came around a couple of times- waters are $2.50 and I think they make the circuit to a lot of the local beaches. There is a place near the bathrooms off beach with trees and grass where you can grab some shade if it gets too hot. Parking is pretty good and not a long walk to the beach. read more

Sunset on the boardwalk..magical....Plenty of parking. Bring your camera, the views are splendid. Bird lovers will revel in this spot. It can get buggy in the season. Seriously, the photo ops can be great. Come mid week off season to avoid the crowds at the end of the boardwalk. read more

simple BEAUTIFUL you have to go visit. It's free the sunset is amazing highly recommend it

Definitely worth a visit. Wonderful sunsets. Good place to kayak and swim. Seldom too crowded.

We come for the board walk - we time it to see sunset. Beautiful place to watch sunset. Lots of bird life. The typical gulls, but yellowlegs and herons as well. I don't know if I'd ever want to swim here. The water looks pretty murky. read more

While the beach is quaint and has a lovely view and boardwalk, I found myself driving 15 min to other local beaches because of the serious amounts of bugs on this beach! Myself and 3 others in my group were constantly getting bit by horse flies, mosquitoes and I even found a spider on me twice! We tried bug spray but that mixed with sunscreen didn't seem to help. The town may want to consider treating the area because we ended up getting covered in bites for only a few hours spent there. And FYI horse flies hurt!!! read more

Soooooooo bugs bugs bugs bugs. If you love bugs come on over to grays beach!!! If not don't go. The sunset was BEAUTIFUL AND PICTURES WERE GREAT. But man if you don't have long pants and sleeves and have tons of bug spray just be prepared it's buggy. read more

Beautiful sunset! Don't go without bug spray and long pants and long sleeves. Itchy thinking about it right now.

Great beach during low tide! Huge tide change. Best early morning. If you come in the afternoon I recommend bringing a raft so you paddle to the great beach across the bay. read more

great spot.... there is an osprey nest to the left of the long boardwalk and a nice little harbor there about 12 private - non commercial boats tie up next to a boat launch. At the end of the boardwalk is a nice sitting area and a great place for photos... www.killershotphotography.smugmug.com read more
