From the reviews

Beautiful and breathtaking beach in the Cape Cod, Massachusetts area! The lighthouses gives this place its name and for good reason. The white sandy beaches are perfect to walk and sit on! The water is a beautiful blue color although a little bit on the chilly side.

Beautiful beach with clear warm shallow water. If you go early you won't have problem to park but remember you can park and stay 2 hours. Until 11.30 we never had problem moving the car to another spot. You walk 5 minutes (I think less) to get to the lighthouse.

The beach was beautiful. There is a long path to get there, but it was a nice chill place with little to no waves. The lighthouse looked well maintained but there is a fee to go in and a person inside to collect money. There were more dead jelly fish than I have ever seen here.

★★★★☆ — Todays, Sep 2021

Take a break from down town Egartowm and enjoy a stroll along the water, past beautifully manicured mansions and yards until you arrive at the paths to lighthouse beach. It's a nice hike with plenty of scenery on both sides of the path. The lighthouse is beautiful and a great photo op with the family.

Getting married at Lighthouse Beach

Lighthouse Beach is a public beach or park, so a ceremony here almost always needs a permit from the managing city, county, or state parks office — and the rules matter: many public beaches cap your guest count, set ceremony windows, and restrict what you can set up (some ban chairs, arches, and amplified sound entirely). There's no on-site coordinator, catering, or weather backup, so you'll bring your own vendors and a rain plan. The payoff is a stunning setting at a fraction of a private venue's cost. Start with our public-beach permit guide, then call the local office to confirm this season's rules.
