Nauset Light Beach
Edit SpotAbout
this spot can be good and bad depending on what time of year it is and if there are any storms out there. One day it might be big and the next fairly small. generally not to good over the summer unless there is a hurricane.
Atmosphere:
this place is packed with tourists during the summer, so usually it is better to come more towards the evening. people are nice,even the locals
Additional Info:
Just park in the parking lot and if your there for the summer it might make sense to get a parking sticker. Most people go to the right of the lifegaurds b/c they go crazy with the whistles if your near the swimmers plus it usually breaks better there anyway.
