Grays Beach
Grays Beach, also known as Bass Hole, is a scenic and popular beach located on Cape Cod Bay in Yarmouth Port, MA. It is best known for its long, picturesque boardwalk that extends over a salt marsh, offering stunning views of the surrounding coastal landscape and the perfect spot to watch the sunset. The beach itself is smaller than many ocean beaches, with calm, shallow waters at low tide, making it a great option for families with small children.
