False Cape State Park Campsite is an isolated campground near the beach, between Back Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. You will have to hike at least 5 miles (8 kilometers) from the parking area to the edge of the campgrounds, so prepare yourself for the walk and bring plenty of water. There is nothing fancy about the site, which makes it the perfect location for campers who prefer a clean but rural setting graced by stunning sunsets. The site is a wildlife refuge, so follow guidelines to the letter. If you catch baby sharks, always return them to the water gently. The remote area supports cycling adventures as well.
