Beachgoers watch the boats pass by at Loop Beach in Barnstable, Cape Cod.

Popular among locals in the area, Loop Beach is a great spot to relax and watch boats pass by. The small resident-only parking lot will fill up quickly in season, so plan on arriving early or arranging a drop-off. There are also a few parking spots lining Oceanview Avenue just past the beach. Early birds will be treated to some amazing sunrises over Nantucket Sound.
