Why Mayflower Beach is so special
There are a handful of reasons why, out of all the fantastic options in Cape Cod, Mayflower Beach gets singled out with praise. One of the beach’s most beloved features is that it has extremely low tide patterns. Because of this major ebbing, miles of sand become exposed for guests to stroll along every day. Imagine watching the sunset and being able to walk into the ocean without the water ever going past your ankles.
If you have young kids, you can take a break from holding their hand in the ocean and instead let them enjoy splashing about safely in the tide pools that form during low tide. Another benefit that visitors love about Mayflower’s low tide is that it provides them with plenty of space, despite the crowds flocking to this idyllic destination.
Not only does the tide provide a handful of benefits, but the general setup of Mayflower Beach really makes a trip to its shores a breeze. If you have a car with you, you don’t have to worry about driving in circles looking for a spot. The beach has a paid parking lot just beside its boardwalk. An if that doesn’t make the beach day easy enough, you’ll also find picnic benches, bathrooms, a snack bar, and a lifeguard on duty.
