White Crest Beach Details

Also known as Four Mile Beach or Surfer's Beach, White Crest is backed by beautiful, tall sand dunes and is renowned as the best surfing beach on the Cape. If you don't surf, you can always join in one of the frequent beach volleyball games or just enjoy watching the hang gliders zooming overhead. Note: the steep dunes and rough water may not make this the best beach if you're traveling with young children, seniors, or disabled companions. Facilities include concessions and restrooms, and lifeguards are on duty during the summer.
