Cotuit has three fine beaches, all requiring resident stickers to park. Oregon Beach off Main Street has no lifeguards or restroom facilities, nor does Ropes Beach, located in the protected Cotuit Bay. Cotuit's Loop Beach, also off Main Street, does have lifeguards and bathroom facilities. Neighboring Osterville has a fine saltwater residents-only beach on Vineyard Sound at the end of Wianno Avenue called Dowses Beach. Lifeguards oversee Dowses Beach and toilet facilities and concessions are available.
The often-crowded Craigville Beach off Craigville Beach Road in Centerville is a favorite with sunbathers and swimmers. On Nantucket Sound, this beach has a large parking lot and a bathhouse with outdoor showers. There are lifeguards on duty.
Two nearby residents-only parking beaches in Centerville are Covells Beach along Craigville Beach Road to the east of Craigville Beach and Long Beach on Long Beach Road to the west. Covells has lifeguards and restrooms; Long Beach has neither.
Hyannis has four beaches--East Beach, Kalmus Beach, Sea Street Beach, and Veterans Beach. East Beach, just west of Hyannis Harbor, has residents-only parking with no food or bathroom facilities and no lifeguards on duty.
As a windsurfing beach, Kalmus Beach at the end of Ocean Street in Hyannis is considered by some to be the best on the Cape. One of two beaches in Hyannis Harbor, Kalmus has a windsurfing area, snack bar, bathroom facilities, and a picnic area; and the beach is protected by lifeguards.
Sea Street Beach at the end of Sea Street is the second public beach in Hyannis Harbor and is within walking distance of many accommodations in Hyannis. This beach has a bathhouse, snack bar, and picnic area; lifeguards are on duty in season.
With a delightful view of Lewis Bay, Veterans Beach on Ocean Street in Hyannis is a popular place where families enjoy picnics and cookouts shaded by a pine grove.

Six-mile-long Sandy Neck Beach, north of Mass. Rt. 6A in West Barnstable, is the town's longest beach. The road that leads to the beach, Sandy Neck Road, actually connects with Mass.

This beach offers swimming, fishing, camping and hiking. Facilities include indoor restrooms, showers, and a snack bar; lifeguards work this beach.
Next to picturesque Barnstable Harbor at the end of Millway along the north shore of the town is Millway Beach.
