First Encounter Beach
- Address: End of Samoset Rd. off U.S. 6, Eastham, MA | Map It
Fodor's Review:
A great spot for watching sunsets over the bay, First Encounter Beach is rich in history. Near the parking lot, a bronze marker commemorates the first encounter between local Native Americans and passengers from the Mayflower, led by Captain Myles Standish, who explored the entire area for five weeks in November and December 1620 before moving on to Plymouth. The remains of a navy target ship retired after 25 years of battering now rest on a sandbar about 1 mi out.
