Craigville Beach

997 Craigville Beach Road, Centerville, MA 02632
A sunny summer afternoon at Craigville Beach in Barnstable, Cape Cod.

One of the more popular beaches on Cape Cod, Craigville Beach features a massive parking lot, full facilities and activities to keep everyone in the family entertained for the day. The warm, calm waters are great for swimming and the soft sand is perfect for long walks along the shore. There are a few restaurants across the street for an easy bite to eat. Craigville Beach does tend to get a bit crowded during peak season, but depending on the time of day there’s usually enough room to spread out. If you have a resident pass, neighboring Covell’s Beach offers a slightly more relaxed experience.
