Best Cape Cod Beaches

Some beaches are ideal for young children while others provide the perfect atmosphere for water sports like windsurfing. All the salt water beaches allow one to swim laps, build sand castles, fly kites and just enjoy sitting in the sun. It is worth noting that resident only beaches are available in some of the Cape towns. They are a nice perk for folks that own property on the Cape because they tend not to be as crowded.
