Rope’s Beach

Primarily used as a launching spot for canoes, kayaks, paddleboards and other small boats, Rope’s Beach is a small section of beach tucked into Cotuit Bay. There’s not much room on the sand, and the water isn’t ideal for swimming, so if you’re looking for a more traditional beach experience try nearby Loop Beach if you’re a Barnstable resident, or Craigville Beach if you’re a visitor. Parking at Rope’s beach is restricted to Barnstable resident passholders only.

Parking: 15 spaces

• Resident parking only ($50/season)

A Barnstable beach pass or daily fee is required to park at town beaches between the hours of 9am – 3:45pm (7am – 3:45pm at Craigville Beach) year round. Daily fee parking is only available in season, and only at Craigville Beach, Hathaway’s Pond, Kalmus Beach, Keyes Memorial Beach, Sandy Neck Beach and Veteran’s Park Beach.

Resident passes are valid for all Barnstable beaches. Non-resident passes are valid only for Craigville Beach, Hathaway’s Pond, Kalmus Beach, Keyes Memorial Beach, Sandy Neck Beach and Veteran’s Park Beach.
