User reviews
"The beach is a stunning sight that offers breathtaking views of the tide pools that form when the timing is just right. Although my attempt to witness the beauty of the tide pools at sunset was unsuccessful, the experience was still one-of-a-kind. I highly recommend adding this destination to your list of must-see places during your stay on the Cape for a few days."
Liana Kesterson
"Skate Beach is a delightful destination that caters to both young and old. Its tranquil waters and charming tide pools make for a picturesque setting. Despite the $30 parking fee, the pristine restrooms, ample parking space, and breathtaking vistas make it a worthwhile investment."
