What to do in Coast Guard beach? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?

If you like outdoor activities, the Coast Guard beach can offer such an experience. In particular - SUP surfing. The beach stands out for an excellent base for this kind of sport. And the bonus is the gorgeous scenery from the water. Just try, we recommend it!

Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than Coast Guard beach welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing. If on the contrary, it is not your kind of activity, we recommend you to find another beach, since the presence of lots of kite surfers on water can have a negative impact on the comfort of your leisure.

Although the beach is delightful, reaching it can be quite a challenge. You must board the shuttle with all of your beach necessities from the parking area to the beach. However, if you want to avoid the inconvenience and have an identical beach experience, visit NAUSET BEACH instead of Nauset Light Beach. The sand is velvety and ivory, and the water ranges from 55° to 60° in temperature during the summer months.

This beach is absolutely stunning, just like all the other beaches located on the Cape. The added bonus of being in close proximity to Nauset Lighthouse is fantastic, giving visitors the option to enjoy two different activities in the same space. However, I would rate this beach a four out of five stars due to its lack of accessibility for those with mobility issues. The walkway can be difficult to navigate, especially during the busy summer season, making it challenging for older individuals or families with young children.

The beach is spotless and picturesque, offering ample room to stretch out and relax, even during the peak season. The Cape Cod rail trail provides easy access to the beach, although parking is said to be a challenge. We prefer to bike our way there, avoiding the hassle of finding a spot. The stunning vistas of the sea and the adjacent bay are simply awe-inspiring, leaving us spellbound every single time.

Proceed with caution when visiting this beach. Unfortunately, there are no clear indications that the only way to access this beach is through the nearby shuttle lot, which can be frustrating for both locals and tourists who attempt to enter and then turn around to find the shuttle lot. The parking fee is $25, and the shuttle is not properly sanitized after each use, which can be concerning. Additionally, despite the mandatory face mask requirement, the shuttle driver did not wear a mask, and no one on the beach wore one either. Not even with their nose exposed or around their neck. It is important to note that while the views are beautiful and there are lifeguards on site, the shuttle is not sanitized, and no one on the beach is wearing a mask.

This stunning beach is managed by the National Park Service and offers a hassle-free experience with its inclusive parking and tram ride fees. The presence of bathrooms, showers, and lifeguards ensures a comfortable and safe time. As you soak up the refreshing water, you may even spot one to three seals swimming nearby. However, it's important to stay vigilant and close to shore due to the possibility of sharks. Despite this, the beach is undeniably beautiful, and we were fortunate enough to have a perfect day. It's a reminder that we are a part of the food chain, but the experience is worth it.
