    Would be more 3.5 stars for me. Beach parking was less than others in cape cod($14 vs others…read more20-30/day). Would download the parking app ahead of time. The app prompts you not to pay until you get there as you may not have a spot even if you already pre-paid. Pros: bathroom facilities and outdoor showers Snack bar if needed Parking cheaper compared to other beaches on the Cape For us this beach was much closer to where we were staying. Cons: Water was freezing(mid 60s). This may be also viewed as a pro as it felt really cooling after being in it but does take time to get used to. The kids in the group had a hard time venturing any further than knee height. Walk to and from parking lot/ bathroom was a little long. The sand can be a little pebbly.

    I live in MA and drove 1 hour to Scusset Beach during the 2nd week of July, 2026. The weather was…read moreperfect - perfect for a beach day : hot, sunny, clear blue sky. The beach itself was nice enough: decent sand, not rocky, not an over abundance of seaweed. That's where the enjoyment ended. That beach had a constant barrage of biting flies that annoy the crap out of you. They are small, relentless,painfully bite, and leave itchy marks where they bite. We stayed for 3 hours to try to get our $14 (parking fee) worth but after that, we left. I'll never go back since I now know those biting flies are an issue there and have been for years. Two thumbs down and I cannot recommend Scusset Beach to any beach goer who wishes to have a lovely day at the beach. Side note : the water was so cold also, with zero waves and contained floating seaweed. Terrible.

    We met family for a visit to the Gardens and Museum on a beautiful Summer Friday. Our relatives had…read morea membership so I didn't even notice the entrance fee but I would have paid whatever it was as this was a gorgeous place to walk around. We were a week after the Hydrangea Festival ended and while the flowers don't just disappear, they were not all as vibrant as I'm sure they had been two weeks prior. I love hydrangeas and have several types growing on my property so it was great to be able to see other varieties and colors. I had no idea this type of acreage existed on the cape- (you mean it's NOT all ice cream and traffic?!) The gardens were exquisite. I was told that they are all maintained by volunteers! We saw no maintenance or staff doing anything other than helping guests enjoy their visit. The new children's area was fun for 50-somethings and 70-somethings in our crew. There is a school on the property and I cannot imagine a more fun way to learn in nature! The carousel was a hit, as was the automobile museum in a gorgeous building. The exhibit about cranberry bogs and the wetu on site paid appropriate homage to the Indigenous People in this region. If you have the time, this is a must-see on the Cape. While there is a lot of walking involved, the property has electric golf cart vehicles that can transport visitors around the property. I would definitely return!

    My favorite time of year is visiting the Heritage Museum & Gardens for their Hydrangea Festival!…read moreThe expansion and addition to the welcome center is lovely! Highly recommend adding this to your Cape Cod checklist!
