Many Cape Cod Bay beaches have these qualities and are ideal for families with children seeking a low-key beach vacation.
Others like Craigville in Barnstable and Cahoon Hollow in Wellfleet attract a more party-oriented crowd. Some beaches, like Nauset in Orleans and Sandy Neck in Sandwich, even allow limited 4WD vehicle access during the season. And don't forget all the secret spots: peaceful, quiet places not found on any tourist guide map.
