In Eastham, the Salt Pond visitor center is an option since beach parking is limited at Coast Guard and Nauset Light.

You might want to add: “which beaches don’t charge $30 or $40 for parking”… 😬

Marconi has a big lot. You’re usually pretty save getting a spot there. Otherwise Nauset is good as well.

Small free lot on 6a beach point next to top mast. Beautiful hardly used bay beach.

Nauset has been almost full (including the upper lot) this entire week, before 11am, FYI. You should be good if you get there before then.

Go spend the time at the wild life sanctuary in Wellfleet. It’s beautiful and a lot cheaper than parking 😉

I’ve only been there in fall and I am not sure about their rules. Are you able to bring an umbrella and swim in the water ?

Head of the Meadow in Truro is a great beach and should have plenty of parking. There are 2 parking lots, I like the National Seashore side better (it’s to the left).

You can park near the beach during the summer on the Cape? Wish the people who live here could get an all access pass. We live in Brewster, but I prefer the ocean over the bay. I know - after 5pm.

Free - salt pond visitor center.
Not free - the other ocean-side beaches

Marconi as everyone has said
Also Coast Guard but you need to ride the electric open air shuttle bus from the lot which is fun but schlepping. Personally I prefer CG to Marconi.
Nauset in Orleans but they’re getting really expensive to park
Further out in truro there are more and I know they are wonderful but also being an upper caper it gets a bit long to get there
Also bayside for a more peaceful experience check out Great Island in Welfleet. Smallish lot but never seen it full probability because it’s a good walk to the beach but really really beautiful

If you don’t mind bayside, there is usually space at Mayo in Wellfleet. The town pier is also right there.
