Beach lovers who long for a summer trip flock to Cape Cod. This peninsula is known for its many gorgeous beaches, such as Craigville Beach in Centerville and Marconi Beach in Wellfleet. Craigville Beach is popular with young people because of its wide area and smooth sand. It’s also frequented by kitesurfers because of its regular winds, so you’ll spot many bright sails in the skies when you visit. At Marconi Beach, your jaw will drop at the sight of soaring cliffs. What makes this place stand out is how its sand takes on various colors that blend. Are you planning a seaside vacation soon? Read on for the top beachfront cottages in Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and location with easy access to beach. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on October 27, 2024.
