These Cape Cod Beaches Are the Best Photography Spots on Cape Cod
First, What to Bring
If you plan to put your photography skills to the test, don’t forget to pack a digital camera to your Cape Cod packing list. Or, simply use your smartphone! New models are often equipped with nearly professional-quality cameras. Practice your skills by taking creative liberties in shots, angles, and more, all the while creating a way to remember your trip to the Cape forever.
Rock Harbor Beach
Rock Harbor Beach is a popular high-season and off-season attraction. This man-made harbor on the Cape Cod Bay is one of the best spots for photography on Cape Cod. In the off-season, visit for a quiet morning, afternoon, or evening on the beach that’s uninterrupted by an influx of other visitors. This idyllic Cape Cod scenery has both sandy beaches and large stones that jut out into the bay. We recommend visiting at sunset to take photos that boat bright colors and unique textures from the rocks.
Race Point Beach
Race Point Beach is another one of the Cape’s sandy beaches. This oceanfront is part of the Cape Cod National Seashore. This collection of six beaches boasts beautiful sights and history! Photograph as the tide comes in at Race Point Beach or Race Point Lighthouse. This 1816-illuminated lighthouse has earned its spot on the National Register of Historic Places, so you’ll be photographing more than just a beautiful sight!
Sandy Neck Beach
Sandy Neck Beach in Barnstable is your traditional Cape Cod beach. Each summer, thousands of visitors come to its shoreline for endless fun in the sun. Practice your photography skills right from your beach chair during your visit! You’re sure to get unique shots as it’s described as “… 4,700 acres of dunes, maritime forests, and marshes.” Sandy Neck Beach is also a popular spot for beachcombing, so don’t miss the chance to photograph shells, tiny marine life, and more.
