Surfing is permitted in the non-protected beach areas from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. It is also popular with swimmers and boogie boarders. The beach is also available for off-road vehicles with the proper permit. Beautiful sunrises, excellent bass and blues fishing, surfing, sunbathing, and swimming in cool ocean waters are all great activities here.
Despite its size, the massive parking lot occasionally fills up when the sun is strong. Arrive early or in the late afternoon if you want to claim a spot. There is an attendant on duty, and there are also bike racks available if you choose to bike here.

Skaket Beach is a prized spot for many repeat Cape Cod visitors staying in our houses for rent in Orleans. Its small size lends it a certain intimacy. Enjoy a pleasant afternoon undisturbed by commotion. Spend a moment in deep thought while watching reflections in a rock pool, or run free of cares through the reedy grasses. Stand still and let the gentle breeze brush the grass against your ankles.
Because the Skaket Beach surf and undertow are gentle at any time of day, parents can enjoy the comfort of letting their children roam about safely on their own in these waters. The refreshing calm in Skaket Beach is a more serene alternative to a busy day of kayaking, swimming or surfing elsewhere. Read throughout the afternoon or take a peaceful nap under the shade of a big umbrella.
Car parking at Skaket Beach is free at certain times of day, although extra fees for beach access vary. Walk just over 1.9 miles (3 kilometers) west from Orleans through beautiful sections of colonial architecture and amid the natural beauty of the New England landscape.
