Lighthouse Beach
There is only short term parking at the lighthouse, so you would need to either drop off beachgoers, or find nearest legal street parking. The town has instituted a pass purchase requirement to park on some of the streets nearby, so watch for signs.

Our preference is to rent bikes at Little Capistrano in Eastham and jump on from there. If you would like to start from our house, go out the driveway and down to Old Queen Anne. Turn left and go about ¼ mile to Stepping Stones Rd. That’s where the bike trail crosses the road. If you take a right on Wilfred Rd and follow the road to the end, you will pick up the trail again. This way brings you to Harwich and the trail connects with the Cape Cod Rail Trail, which goes all the way to Wellfleet.
