West-facing beaches with golden hour potential and evening access.
Nauset Beach is an exposed beach break on outer Cape Cod known for its consistency and power. It works best on southeast swells with offshore west winds and offers both left and right peaks; strong rip currents and occasional great white shark sightings add to the drama.
From the parking lot, follow the boardwalk over the dunes; the beach is long so walk to find a sandbar away from crowds.
