A nice place to
see the summer end
or the
autumn begin.
Scusset Beach is a campground/beach area right on the eastern end of the Cape Cod Canal. It has about 100 campsites with the usual amenities. It's in a great location for camping because you don't have to actually cross the canal to get to it. If you don't want to camp you can get to the beach and breakwater just by walking or biking the canal path right to the beach.
Although the water can get a bit nippy even in the summer, the beach has nice soft sand and is a great place to walk. A nice gentle slope and usually mellow waves make this a good place to bring kids you don't want to get washed away to Europe. A long breakwater offers a great place for fishing.
Of course the great Cape Cod Bike Trail is runs right up to the beach so you can bike, swim and go for a walk along the beach all in the same day.
Although most people come here in the warm weather Scusset is still a great place in the cooler months. The water doesn't get really cold until Nov and most of the flies and mosquito's are gone by Oct. So you can walk or swim along the beach without being bothered by two or six legged creatures. Beautiful views in all directions. Because of it's eastern location Scusset gets absolutely hammered during storms in the winter month and is a great place to visit in the cold weather to observe the full fury and power of the ocean.

Excellent beach without the lengthy ride over the bridge. Great first stop on Friday before a weekend at the cape.
Don't tell anyone, but it's our favorite beach -- clean sand, not too crowded and nice slow drop so great for swimming with the kids.
This is a fairly long and wide sandy beach with generally calm waters. There is a long shallow expanse of fine sand into the water, (as pictured) pretty good for walking out and not worrying about rocky footing underwater. The scenery here is not the greatest compared to many other beaches along the inland-east side of the bay.
We only visited this beach once because it frankly wasn't as interesting as many beaches in the area.
More to the point: kind of a blah beach. There, I said it.
