In September, Red River Beach offers a serene and expansive shoreline with fine sand, although it's wise to watch out for shells. The beach has a small parking area and two restrooms, as well as an outdoor shower. As it's the off-season, there's no need for a parking permit.

Our initial visit to Cape Cod's beach was flawless. The sand was soft, and the water was peaceful, making it an ideal spot for our two young daughters - aged 3.5 and 2. The weather was also ideal, and we were fortunate enough to find parking nearby for only $20 per day. Additionally, visiting on a Monday ensured that the beach wasn't too crowded.

The beach is fantastic! It's advisable to arrive early to secure a spot. I managed to park directly in front and easily climb over the wall onto the sand. I wore water shoes to protect myself from rocks and potential crabs, but they're not necessarily required. It's private enough to bring drinks, and it doesn't become overly crowded.

During my summer vacation, I spent a few weeks at this stunning beach. The pristine shoreline was a sight to behold, and the beach was immaculately maintained. Lifeguards were always on duty whenever the beach was open, ensuring that everyone felt safe and secure. One of my favorite activities was taking leisurely strolls along the beach. The serene atmosphere and the gentle sound of waves crashing against the shore made for a truly relaxing experience. To my delight, I discovered a food truck on the premises that served delicious cuisine. I couldn't resist stopping by for a bite, and I'm glad I did! The food was of exceptional quality and definitely worth trying.
