The Knob
Also in Wellfleet.... Bound Brook Island Beach. It’s considered the best-hidden beach by all who have visited. This sandy beach on the Cape Cod Bay is accessible only through a one-mile dirt road. This remote location features clean beaches, minimal noise, and unobstructed views of the sunset. We love it and so do the lucky handful of others who are in the know. Grab your beach towel and don’t forget the sunscreen.
Most of us think beaches, boats and bikini’s when we think of the Cape, but did you know that they have a highly rated coffee roaster? Beanstock Coffee Roasters is located on Holmes Rd in Eastham. We can assure you, it’s top-notch. We drove to the Cape one rainy summer day just to get a fresh roasted batch of their superb coffee. It’s that good. And at the holidays, you will not find us without our ho ho Joe’s... We stock up because we this is some good stuff. And you can only find it on Cape Cod. They even have a Cape Beach Blend, big, rich, smooth and clean...like the best cape beaches. A must try. They also have mail order.
If you are searching for a spectacular sunset, it's hard to find a better spot to watch it than Monk's Park. Also Ideal for walking your dog and hiking. Located in Bourne. Our pup LuLu gives it two paws up!
Crowe's Pasture Beach, Dennis
Another private beach: Crowe's Pasture Beach, Dennis
A Narrow trail alongside marshlands and woods in the conservation area leads to a hidden beach at the end of the mile-long, dirt path. The beach, a mix of sand, marshy lands and sea grass, is one of the more secluded spots on the entire Cape. We think it’s worth the hike. Take some of that great cape cod coffee with you....or walk off some of that delectable French pastry from Boulangerie.
The Knob
And speaking of secluded, one of the best kept secret spots is the most scenic - The Knob in Falmouth. The knob is named for the knob shape patch of seacoast at the end of a mile-long pedestrian causeway between Quissett harbor and Buzzards Bay. It offers panoramic water and coastal lookouts. As Devon would say, “This is some prime location.” For photo buffs, early morning offers breathtaking sunrise over the harbor with multiple species of birds which are most active in the morning.
Finally, We all know and love that Pina Colada song...the one where they say “Making love at midnight in the dunes on the Cape.” Well we found them and the dunes are indeed definitive and timeless Cape Cod. We are talking about the exceptional and outstanding ....dunes of the Provincelands in Provincetown. This extraordinary area is part of the Cape Cod National seashore, which protects the fragile ecological system, ensuring the preservation of its beauty and the natural habitat living in it. The views are spectacular and go on for miles.
