Scargo Beach

Dr Lord’s Road S, Dennis, MA 02638
A lifeguard stand sits along the shores of Scargo Beach in Dennis, Cape Cod.

The Scargo Beach area doesn’t offer much of an actual beach, but the freshwater pond is great for kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing and has a roped off area for swimming. If you’re looking for more room to spread out along the shore, Princess Beach just down the road, and also on Scargo Lake, is a better option.
