We traveled to Kalmus Beach out of season, on a chilly, rainy day in early May. Our motives for doing so on such a day? We'd read that over 90 species of seashells had been found/identified on this beach. We enjoy beachcombing and thought we might be able to find something interesting, particularly when the crowds were minimal and the... More

There was hardly anyone else on the beach, but still my 8 yr old's shoes were stolen while she went for a walk. I guess even in April everyone looks like a tourist/victim

This is a busy beach on Nantucket Sound. The best time of day is late afternoon when the crowds disperse and the windsurfers take to the waves. It's a great time to picnic and unwind. The water is still warm and you'll have lots of room to spread out-- plus no entrance fee after 4!

I love Kalmus beach, its beautiful and has plenty of parking. The beach is very clean and in season there are lifeguards and you either have to buy a sticker from the town or pay at the gate. The view is beautiful and you can watch the ferrys from Nantucket and Marthas Vineyard come and go. The snack bar is... More

this is a great beach that boarders hyannis harbor.. and you can walk all around... youy can sit and look out to the open ocean on one side, or sit on the other side and watch the bay... i dont know if they intended it or not, but its very "gay" friendly... wonderful beach for all ages...

Another wonderful Cape beach. Brilliant for children - wonderful for us romantics. Visited out of season but still we loved it.

Spent about 30 minutes strolling the beach on a chilly Friday afternoon over Columbus Day weekend. The beach was empty except for another couple. Found lots of scallop shells, and enjoyed watching the ferries coming in and out of the Hyannis harbor. Very clean.

Excellent place to watch kite surfers on a windy day flying by, or soak in some sun on a beach day. Plenty of parking.

Kalmus is a very nice beach offering both a harbor side and an ocean side. The harbor side is quieter, though a little dirtier. The ocean side is incredibly windy and sometimes I even see windsurfers! All-in-all it is a good overall beach and tends to be underappreciated.
