Overall this was a nice place to visit with some nice trails and views, but really it was just nice, not great. The really great thing about it is that it is dog friendly.

Found this place by accident when we were out exploring the cape. Not a lot of parking so you may have to drive around until someone pulls out. Views are great and bring your camera. We spent time walking on the beach and just sitting by the water. This is a place to leave your stress behind or let the... More

Great place to explore. The paths were fun to walk along. Can't wait to go back and have a picnic. Limited parking.

Our family stopped here before getting on the ferry to MV. We enjoyed it so much we hardly wanted to leave. Can't wait to go back again! Just breathtaking!

The Knob is beautiful. This is great place for anyone: single, couples, families...even the dog. There are two paths to the top. The one on the right is the most direct. The one on the left winds it's way to the top and takes longer. Bring your lunch and enjoy the beach. The best part is it's FREE. If you... More
