Scusset Beach State Reservation, Coastal state park in Sandwich, Massachusetts
The 459-acre recreation area features a sandy beach stretching for half a mile along Cape Cod Bay at the eastern end of Cape Cod Canal.
Established in 1957, this land was formerly part of Sagamore Hill Military Reservation, which served as a World War II coastal defense installation.
Sagamore Hill within the park grounds maintains its status as a traditional meeting location for Native American communities of the region.
The reservation provides 98 recreational vehicle sites with hookups and five tent camping spots, plus seasonal lifeguard services from May through October.
A 3,000-foot stone jetty separates the Cape Cod Canal from the beach, creating an observation point for ships entering and exiting the waterway.
