[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for the info, esp the Chatham and 14:34 poster. Love your insights.

From what I've been reading, the ocean side waters are rougher, colder, and not really great for young kids? I would love a great, soft sandy beach with warmer waters, so I'm thinking that the bayside is better for now, and the outer cape better for when the kids are older--is this right?

Also, can anyone describe Falmouth/Wood's Hole and Dennis? For various reasons (family/friends), these are areas that would be convenient for us, but we are open to other areas, too.[/quote]

The Bay side is warmer & calmer, so yes, but in Truro (where we go) or Wellfleet, they're both right there, so we go to the ocean beaches frequently just to enjoy the beach (sit, read, walk) and high dunes/cliffs.  If the breeze is on-shore it keeps the black flies down on the ocean beaches, that's the best time to be on them (IMO).  I have my big beach umbrella (I've had skin cancer so have to watch it) and can hang out at Ballston Beach, Head of the Meadow, Cahoon Hollow, White Crest, Long Nook, Race Point, High Head (often lots of seals there) and others all afternoon and enjoy it. When I was a kid we surfed with my father's huge mahogany surfboard on the ocean side.

And how could I forget the kettle ponds ... beautiful clean, clear, deep glacial remnant ponds such as Gull Pond.[/quote]
