357 Sesuit Neck Rd, Dennis, MA 02638
(508) 385-6134

the parking lot is a bit confusing as it is shared with a marina and can be extremely busy in the summer season at peak times.

but it’s worth the madness for the sesuit harbor cafe’s food. Exceptionally crispy fried seafood on often-sticky tables in a great outdoor setting overlooking the water.

Things to do after you finish eating

So you’ve finished filling your face and need something to do. The good news is Dennis and nearby towns are loaded with things to do with your dog. Here are some pet-friendly activities to enjoy:

Dog-friendly beaches on cape cod

There are lots of dog-friendly beaches on cape cod, but Dennis is one of the many towns don’t allow pets on the public beaches during the summertime.  Keep this in mind when planning day trips to the beach, you’ll need to wait for the offseason.

If you’re staying in the Dennis area, plan to take a day trip to visit the nearby beaches of the cape cod national seashore with your dog.  the national seashore allows dogs all summer long… unless access gets restricted by nesting piping plovers, which seems to start a bit earlier and last a bit longer every year. Yuck.

But usually one or two national seashore beaches stays open to pets, often the left side of herring cove beach. check the national seashore site’s pets page for updates on that. There are pet-friendly dining options nearby all of the national seashore beaches if you’re making the road trip from Chatham.
