Coast Guard Beach seemed great also except for the fact that we would have to park and then take a shuttle to the shore. We decided on this beach, which seems to have the same feel as Coast Guard. We got there at about 945am on a Tuesday morning in August. There were only a handful of parking spots left at The Beachcomber. Parking was $30 but we got a voucher to use toward food or souvenirs from The Beachcomber (the food and mixed drinks there were very good). The beach is accessible by a pathway on a sand dune that is tall and steep. Going down was easy. Going back up required a few rest stops for me. I'm pregnant and I was carrying our 1.5 year old. It probably would've been easier for me had I not been pregnant but this is definitely not a trek for anyone with physical limitations. My 4 year old went up and down twice but her legs were really burning the 2nd time going up. This is one of the best beaches I've ever been to. Sapphire water and soft sand. Quiet crowd and limited cell service, which added to the relaxation. The shore is a little rocky but doable without water shoes. Once you walk into the water a few feet from the shore the rocks give way to soft sand. The water was cold. I almost felt like I was taking an ice bath. But it felt great once I got acclimated and really helped me cool down in the 85 degree weather. It was a really special experience and so picturesque. One important note: there is a danger of sharks because of the booming seal population. We saw seals in the early afternoon swimming playfully about 20 feet from shore. Some locals will not get in the water if they spot seals-- that means sharks could be nearby. There were lifeguards on duty and also a shark patrol boat along the coast but it's still a little scary! The current got very strong in the early afternoon. I'm used to the crashing waves at the Atlantic beaches in NY and this undertow concerned even me.

Why Marconi Beach? Honestly, why the hell not?…read more During a very brief day trip to the Cape, we were looking to see a particular lighthouse (Nauset) and to see some big ass coastal bluffs which after twenty seconds of research made Marconi an easy choice. Below is a bit of NPS info on what to expect when visiting and a smidge about the history of the area. www.nps.gov/caco/planyourvisit/marconi-beach.htm www.nps.gov/places/marconi-beach.htm A nice winding drive in through the pine barrens which opens up to a massive parking lot. It truly must be a hell scape in season, but when you're visiting in early April and it's in the low 40s with a barking wind, even on a Saturday, there were only four other cars. We got the views we were looking for and poached a few shells/rocks for some mementos. While the visit was brief (25ish minutes - too crazy cold to make it any longer) it is indeed beautiful here and worth making a visit. (It's also worth mentioning the Captain Obvious that in the offseason you are able to avoid those pesky NPS entrance fees but if you need to use the loo, it ain't happening here since all of that is closed and of course there are no lifeguards, so watch out for Jaws.)

This review is based on my personal experience at Marconi Beach on June 24, 2025…read more Marconi Beach is part of the Cape Cod National Seashore. It's more secluded and less crowded than most other beaches in the area. There's a large parking lot near the beach access trail, but a daily or annual pass is required. As with so many other listings on Yelp, the map location is incorrect. Do not plan your trip using this location unless you want to spend your day at a stranger's home in Wellfleet.

First off, you do need a beach sticker provided by the town of Wellfleet. However, in the nighttime, it does not matter. There is a huge parking lot for enough spaces, and most likely you will find a spot during the daytime. A bathroom is provided in the lot in the center. There's even an ice cream truck featuring hot dogs and water that's parked toward the ocean. For the fun, there is a big hill to climb down either way (left or right) that leads down to the beach and sands. Normally, you'll find a lot of people with their blankets and sometimes looking for a spot can be very time-consuming. There are a couple of lifeguards here at Newcomb, but only patrol a small area, so please be careful in the water. Bonfires are allowed but require a permit in the same place where a beach sticker is picked up. Getting here to Newcomb is very easy as it is located at the end of Ocean View Drive. If we enjoy it here, someone else will too!

Like many bay beaches at low tide you might have to walk out half a mile to get to water up to your waist, but at least the water will likely be warm and calm. It's better at high tide. Kids will like the tidal pools at low tide but First Encounter nearby is better for that. Its usually quiet as the parking lot is very small and requires a sticker in the summer. If you live or rent in the area maybe it's worth going but I wouldn't drive too far to come here.

First of all, there was a ready supply of parking, and no officials there to bother us for being out of state visitors. Secondly, the surf was more magnificent than my pictures can capture. Then there are the seals, which seem to be there at all times. Signs tell you to avoid them because there are also sharks in the area, and you may tragically be mistaken for a seal. On our second visit three years later, it was all as we had remembered. We'd forgotten the name of the beach, but got an accurate tip from the wine pourer at the nearby winery. Seals, surf and the good cheer of the sparse group of people on the beach. I hope we will have the chance to go for a third visit.
