Skaket Beach

Warm, clear waters make this beach destination ideal for casual swimming, watersports or a restorative rest on the white sandy shore.

Skaket Beach
An evening at the Cape is just what the weather gods recommend. Come summer and most Bostonians don't lose a single opportunity to hit the coastline. These miles of pristine beaches make 100 days of summer absolutely worthwhile. Most people have a few cape stories, and so do we. Hoping to share them with you all over this summer. #CapeCod #VisitMA
