Part of the Cape Cod National Seashore, Nauset Light Beach in Eastham is a one-mile-long beach on the east coast of outer Cape Cod. It consists of a broad, sandy beach that is contained by a steep glacial scarp behind it. The beach owes its name to Nauset Light, a restored lighthouse just inland from the beach. Directions: One mile north of Coast Guard Beach on Ocean View Drive in Eastham. Dogs on a leash no longer than 6 feet are allowed on the beach to the north and south. During the summer, pets are not permitted on lifeguard-protected beaches. However, leashed pets are permitted to pass through lifeguard protected areas to reach areas where they may otherwise be allowed. If there are shorebird closures on or beyond lifeguard-protected beaches, pets are not allowed to walk through. During shorebird nesting, staging, and migrating periods, pets are not permitted in posted locations. Walking pets in these areas is prohibited 24/7.
