South Cape Beach

Mashpee’s only ocean beach, South Cape Beach is a narrow strip of sand that stretches for over a mile and features amazing panoramic views of Martha’s Vineyard. The beach is divided into a town-owned section and a state-owned section. Both sections are relatively narrow and very popular, so you might have to do a little walking to find room to spread out.

The town parking lot runs alongside the beach, so it’s a little easier to get to and from your car with beach gear. The state parking lot is larger, but requires a bit of a walk to the beach. Only the state parking lot offers daily parking.
