Reviews
"CCNS is a gift to the world from JFK. Miles of protected shoreline that is beautifully maintained. A gem to behold year round."
"I'll give any well-kept natural areas with minimal development 5 stars. I'm a West Coast man living in Oregon. This place is beautiful & serene, and many pods of seals were swimming close to the shore watching people, who in turn watched the seals. For my tastes, the beach itself is short on fauna & geological scenery, but the seals made the experience worth it. I was especially into the big shark flags at the too of the pathway. Makes for good photo opportunity. Cheers, from Oregon."
"Awesome! There were seals swimming in the waves. It was a long walk for me, though. I'm disabled and out of shape so it was hard getting to and from the water"
"Nauset Beach is it. Great sunrise. Enter early fir free entry before 8:00 am. 6/20: By 6:00 am the sun is up and it’s warm enough to sit in your chair and have the entire coastline to yourself. People start arriving by 7:00."
