Description
Gary’s Beach Boardwalk is located right on the Yarmouth/Dennis town line. This is a very unique place on the Cape that has something to offer for everyone. The most well-known feature of this beach is its amazing boardwalk that spans far out over the marshes. For those who like to kayak/paddleboard, there is a small boat launch where you can launch from and paddle throughout all the channels leading out into the ocean. This is a very popular sunset spot so if you plan on driving be mindful of parking and come early. Another side note is the bugs, sadly this place is filled with tones of small mosquitoes that are quite annoying but definitely manageable. Finally, for those who want to make the hike out to the ocean at low tide (big tide change) be cautious of the rising water when the tide is coming in. It is very common for people to walk far out and the time they start coming back in the water has already beat them and they end up having to take a swim.
Be sure to check out Chapins Memorial Beach, Sandy Neck Light, and Quivett Creek nearby.

Two snaps from Grays Beach in Yarmouth Friday before the hurricane remnants moved in. The boardwalk (suitable for all levels) to the viewing platform is restored now, and you can park for free at the end of Center Street. There is a small sandy beach as well.
