Our absolute favorite place for seafood! It's not fancy but the food is great and so is the scenery. It's located in a boatyard but the views out back are awesome! Bring cash and BYOB. You'll order inside and then find a picnic table out back where they will bring you your food. If you go at peak times, you will wait in line! We like to go mid afternoon when the crowds are lighter. If you don't like fried seafood, try their seared scallop salad (Karen's favorite) or their lobster roll.

Bandera's Market (formerly Porcaro's) has great sandwiches!!! Their meatball subs (homemade meatballs!!) are Kaelyn's favorite, she waits all year for her first one of the season. It's a great place to grab sandwiches for the beach and the owners are super friendly!

We love Joey's pizza. If you like thin crust pizza, Joey's is for you. Many nights we'll order pizza and take it to the beach to eat while watch the sun go down.

Kaelyn's pick, it isn't fancy but it's a great spot for families. Their menu includes much more than hot dogs so don't let the name fool you. The best part is that it's an easy walk from our cottage. Counter service and outdoor picnic tables. Try their homemade lemonade!

Sundae School is a VERY popular ice cream shop. If you go at night in the middle of the summer it will be crowded! But, if you go at a less busy time you'll get to enjoy the cute décor inside. It's like an old fashioned ice cream shop. It's about a mile from the cottage, so if you walk there you won't have to worry about parking or about the extra calories!

This is a good place if you want to go out for a fancy dinner or for a special occasion, which means we never go here because when we're at the beach we don't feel like getting fancy. You would definitely need reservations. But...they have a great tiki bar out back if you just want to go for drinks! It's a great spot for happy hour!

Believe it or not, we have never been here. It's such a short walk from the cottage but we've never tried it. Friends of ours like to go here for an afternoon beverage and it has a great view of the beach across the street. Give it a try and let us know what you think!

Parks & Nature
This is a great beach and is only 2 miles from our cottage. All parking spaces are right up along the beach so it's easy to unpack for the day. The spots do fill up quickly so get there early. There is a parking fee ($20-25 per day), but if you go after 4:30 you won't need to pay to park. This is actually our favorite time to go. Sometimes we pack up our dinner or grab pizza and eat dinner on the beach as we watch the sun go down. There are also usually windsurfers to watch and it's a great place to fly a kite.

This is a great beach on the bay side of Dennis. The tides come way in and go way out creating lots of tide pools which are fun for kids. But, when the tide comes in and there are lots of people on the beach it can get pretty crowded. If you want to try this beach, get there really early because the parking lot fills up quickly.

This is my new favorite beach, there is a new winding path from the parking lot down to the beach. There used to be a set of stairs but they seemed to get damaged every winter so now there is a nice path (easier for rolling the beach buggy). The former bath house has been removed and the new one has not been built yet, so the only facilities are portable toilets. There is a rocky area to the left of the entrance to the beach, so I suggest going to the right (especially if you arrive during high tide and can't see the large rocks). My new favorite day is to go to this beach and then go to Arnold's on our way home (only about 5 minutes away from Nauset Light).
