Coast Guard Beach

Coast Guard Beach is a popular beach located in Eastham, Massachusetts, and is part of the Cape Cod National Seashore. The beach is known for its great surf, making it a favorite spot for surfers and boogie boarders. At low tide, the beach exposes a flat stretch of sand, which is also ideal for skimboarding. The beach is home to nesting and migrating shorebirds, and seals and sharks can be spotted in the waters offshore. The area is also steeped in history, with the old Coast Guard building still standing on the dune above the beach. Visitors can explore the nearby Nauset Marsh, which is accessible by a pathway and offers opportunities to see shorebirds and salt marsh grass systems up close
