Cahoon Hollow Beach
Wellfleet Cape Cod MA
2009


Cahoon Hollow Beach is a beach in the Cape Cod National Seashore in Wellfleet, Massachusetts. It was named for the Cahoon family who had lived on the Outer Cape for many years.

This is a dramatic beach with steep dunes leading to the beautiful sandy beach. There are large dunes on either side of the beach giving the beach a secluded feel. The water is cooler than bayside beaches. This is a beach more popular with young adults than other crowds, partially because of the steep access, and the unpaved parking lots, but primarily because of the proximity to the Beachcomber, one of the most popular bar and restaurants on the lower cape. During the day the Beachcomber offers cocktails, a raw bar, food and reggae. At night there is great music, with national and regional acts appearing.


Cape Cod, a hook-shaped peninsula of the U.S. state of Massachusetts, is a popular summertime destination. It's the site of quaint villages, seafood shacks, lighthouses, ponds and bay and ocean beaches. In the large town of Hyannis, the John F. Kennedy Museum is the first stop on the Kennedy Legacy Trail through downtown, where ferries depart to the resort islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.
