Cahoon Hollow Beach, Ocean beach at Cape Cod National Seashore in Wellfleet, Massachusetts.

Cahoon Hollow Beach is an ocean beach within Cape Cod National Seashore, backed by tall sand dunes and surrounded by soft sandy shores. The water is clear and the shoreline stretches widely for swimming and relaxation.

The beach takes its name from the Cahoon family, who settled in the Outer Cape region of Massachusetts long ago. This enduring connection to the area became part of the beach's identity.

The beach lies in Wellfleet, on the Outer Cape, a stretch of Massachusetts shore where the Cahoon family lived for many years and gave the beach its name. Visitors today reach the sand by walking down from the dune tops, and the surrounding Cape Cod National Seashore land keeps the setting open along the Atlantic.

Access to the beach comes down through a sandy path from above, so visitors walk down the dune slope to reach the water. Parking and facilities including a restaurant are located at the top of the dunes.

The beach permits authorized bonfires after sunset, where visitors gather to roast marshmallows beneath the night sky. This evening tradition creates a memorable experience that few other beaches in the area offer.
