for a true cape experience, come at dead low tide , and park all the way at the end by the river . where the port-o-pot is, walk straight out into the flats and visit the oystermen working their grants.
Gorgeous sunsets ! Get there early and play paddle ball on the sand bar as the colors get more and more vivid!
First Encounter is the location of the first encounter between Pilgrims and Indians. They landed in Eastham after Provincetown and before settling in Plymouth .

Great beach but arrive early! Lot is small and fills up very fast. One car out, one car in once full but rangers allow groups to head in while one waits to park. Lighthouse views are fantastic! - Joanne V.
Great for kids - Mary Sedlock
Awesome food! A bit expensive but definitely worth the experience. Great atmosphere and get the crab cakes (they are actually made of crab). - Garrett Parrish
The turtle selection is rather small but their romance section is exquisite. - Mike D.
