Sandy Neck Beach

Sandy Neck Beach is one of Cape Cod's longest beaches, but it also has a rich history dating back centuries. The Sandy Neck Colony still stands on the point of Sandy Neck, with around a dozen homes, several of which are over a century old. One of the early cottages also served as a restaurant. A wharf used to allow boats to dock directly in front of it. The restaurant was famous for its handmade chowder, which was even bottled and sold to customers.

Barnstable's Pebbly Sandy Neck Beach stretches for 6 kilometers in the Mid Cape region. This beach is known for its 4,700 acres of dunes, marshes, and woodlands, and it also serves as a natural sanctuary for a variety of creatures, including the endangered piping plover bird. Sandy Neck also has cute shacks and cottages, as well as walking pathways. One section of this beautiful beach is also allocated for off-road vehicles, allowing drivers with permission to cruise into the beach.
