Cape Cod Hotels on the Beach for the Ultimate Seaside Experience

Venture to Chatham and stay at a timeless and historic Cape retreat, Chatham Bars Inn. With this ideal oceanfront location, you can choose from a variety of lodging options, including rooms, suites, and private cottages, all with stunning views of the sea. This luxury resort prides itself on superior service, world-class dining, and a relaxing spa—can you imagine a more perfect escape? So grab a cocktail and hit the private beach at this elegant inn. 

The Inn on the Beach in the village of Harwich Port is a highlight on Cape Cod’s coastline—for the people that have the inside scoop. Intimate and inviting, this boutique hotel has direct access to a dreamy stretch of sandy beach, where you’re invited to enjoy the sun, hit the waves, or wander the coastline. The inn itself features elegant rooms and suites—be sure to request one with a private balcony overlooking Nantucket Sound.

Along Old Silver Beach in North Falmouth you’ll find Sea Crest Beach Hotel, a family-friendly resort with large oceanfront rooms, beachside cabanas, and an outdoor pool. We recommend taking advantage of the watersports (think kayaking, canoeing, and boating) available right outside the hotel before dining al fresco at Red's Restaurant & Lounge. 

Looking for a more intimate waterfront experience? The Wauwinet embodies peacefulness on the northeastern tip of Nantucket Island. Known to provide a quintessential Nantucket experience, this luxurious property overlooks not only the ocean but also Nantucket Bay, providing panoramic views of the sea. After a day in the sun, spend your evening dining on fresh seafood at TOPPER'S restaurant before strolling the island's beaches and walking trails at sunset—-we can practically feel the sense of relaxation already. 

There’s no place more classic than Lighthouse Inn in West Dennis. Situated on nine secluded oceanfront acres, this inn practices classic New England hospitality, making it both historic and charming—truly a beloved Cape Cod institution. Stay in a room in the main inn, a cozy cottage, or a full beach house, all along the Nantucket Sound. By day, play tennis, go sailing, or hit the golf course before relaxing on their private beach by night.
