Beach days in East Dennis

Outdoor time is likely to be high on your agenda during a break in an East Dennis vacation rental, and there are few better places to kick things off than at Cold Storage Beach. Likely within strolling distance of your rental, this postcard-like stretch of sand is broad, rarely crowded and a great spot to watch boats cruise in and out of Sesuit Harbor's rock jetty entrance. Further along the coast in neighboring Dennis, Corporation Beach is particularly popular with families, thanks in part to safe swimming and the huge flats revealed at low tide.

Summer fun in East Dennis

The summer months of July and August, when the temperature can reach the high 70s, are the perfect time to nab an East Dennis vacation rental on the waterfront, though since many travelers will have the same idea, it's wise to book fast to secure your preferred dates. If you like the idea of a quieter vacation, breaks during April and May in the spring or September and October in the fall can be a good option, and you may just find yourself on the receiving end of a lower rate for your rental. Winter temperatures can drop below 40 degrees, so wrapping up warm is essential.
