Seagull Beach

Cape Cod


Long and wide Seagull Beach, off South Sea Ave from MA 28, is the town's best south-side beach. The scenic approach to the beach runs alongside a tidal river that provides a habitat for osprey and shorebirds; bring your binoculars. Facilities include a bathhouse and a snack bar. Parking costs $15 in summer.
