Kalmas Park Beach

"This beach had soft sand. It has some rocks, shells and is warm water. I am a beach addict and this was a good spot to go. Just to point out there is a swimming part of the beach and a non swimming part. I first jump in the non swimming part and got told by a life guard where to swim."

"A nice enough beach, but more rocks and seaweed than some others I’ve visited. There were a lot of water/wind sports happening, so I think it’s more suited for those activities, but maybe I just caught it on a particularly blustery evening. Still, a nice walk, and I was able to handle it in bare feet :)"

"Expensive $25 dollar entry fee, but if they lowered the price to $15 I'd argue it's worth it if you like seeing wildlife or collecting shells. This beach had by far the most shells of any beach we visited up and down the cape - mostly slipper snail but plenty of scallops, whelks, quahogs, and the occasional shark's eyes. The beach does have a lot of seaweed, but this is because it has a natural grassbed right off shore filled with crabs, horseshoe crabs, and live mollusks, which I suppose is not for everyone but is enjoyable in its own right; I enjoyed finding a large whelk mid-meal and watching the barnacle-encrusted horseshoe crab scuttle between grassbeds. There was a lot of litter further up the dunes and around the parking lot - thankfully not near the water line, but for $25 dollars they definitely owe it to guests to keep this place cleaner. Of note: there are actually two beaches here, since the park is on a small peninsula of its own - one on the ocean side and one on the bayside. The bayside has less seaweed and little to no waves; the oceanside has small waves, grassbeds, and more shells."

"Seaweed all over, but bigger problem is the smell of rotting shells washed up on the beach. Needs to be cleaned of washed up seaweed and shells more often."

"A clear insult to all Cape Cod beaches. Egregious $25 parking fee per day, even during a pandemic. More seaweed than sand. Almost stepped on a dirty used face mask on the beach so cleaning is clearly nonexistent. Sand was probably never raked. The limits of the swimming buoys is where you can still stand. Very rocky. Instead of reading on, save yourself the misery and avoid this beach."
