Kingsbury Beach
Eastham, MA
Kingsbury Beach is a small strip of Cape Cod Bay sand in Eastham that mostly draws residents. The landing is quiet compared with the bigger Eastham bay beaches, and the flats at low tide are fun for a short walk. Sunsets are the usual reason to visit.
A quiet neighborhood beach with good sunsets, but it is small and offers few facilities.
How we score beachesBring a chair and come for the sunset. The beach is small, so weekday evenings are best.
Eastham town beach stickers or daily passes are needed in season. Parking is limited near the landing.
The approach is short, with soft sand at the water. There is no boardwalk.
Summer is warmest. In early fall the beach is nearly empty and the light is warm.
