Orleans is home to
some of the loveliest beaches anywhere! We have three
major beaches and several small beaches and landings throughout town.
Nauset Beach, on the Atlantic Ocean,
is one of Cape Cod's most popular spots for sunbathing, surfing,
picnicking and off-road trekking. At the end of Beach Road in East
Orleans, Nauset Beach is the southernmost beach in the Cape Cod National Seashore.
Skaket Beach, on Cape Cod Bay close the center of Town, has warm
clear waters and is ideal for families who prefer calm waters. At
low tide, you can walk for miles on the flats. The sunsets at Skaket Beach are legendary!
Pilgrim Lake is a freshwater pond in South Orleans on
Herringbrook Road. The Pond offers handicapped accessibility,
restrooms, benches, picnic tables and an area for launching small boats.
