A nice course to try out with excellent soft serve ice cream at the same location. Also, Barnstable Brewery, a fairly new business, is in the same parking lot.

BEAUTIFUL place to hike and view the scenic beach area. Short, easy hike to a viewing area that can be very windy depending on the day. Great place to stop if you're in the area, parking can be a bit tricky if it's busy. I've only been in the off season so not sure what it's like in the summer.
