Dog-friendly beaches on cape cod
There are lots of dog-friendly beaches on cape cod, but Orleans doesn’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, or drive further a bit to find beaches with summertime pet access .
Dogs are allowed on the ORV trails of Nauset Beach in the summer, at least when they’re not closed for much of the summer due to nesting shorebirds.
In the offseason, both Nauset Beach and Skaket Beach are great options. Nauset Beach has an expansive beach with the rugged waves and cold water temperatures of the open Atlantic Ocean. Skaket Beach offers much calmer conditions with large tidal flats that stretch on endlessly at low tide.

Skaket beach offers a delightful counterbalance with its warmer, calmer waters. The beach isn’t too large at high tide, but as the tide goes out and the flats emerge and the beach stretches out deep into Cape Cod bay.
