Mayflower Beach
About
Mayflower Beach is a public ocean beach in Massachusetts, managed by the Town of Dennis and sitting about 0.2 miles from North Dennis. It's a beach rather than a trail, so there's no climb or set route to plan around. Summer is the warm stretch. Typical averages from a nearby weather station, Hyannis Barnstable Muni Ap, about 6 miles away, put July highs near 81°F with lows around 65°F, and August is nearly the same at about 80°F and 63°F. June runs cooler, with highs around 74°F, and September averages about 73°F by day and 56°F at night. July and August also have the fewest wet days of the year, about nine each. By October, highs drop to about 63°F, and winter is cold, with January averaging around 40°F for a high and 24°F for a low. Spring warms slowly: April highs average about 55°F and May about 65°F. Nearby options include Hokum Rock, a climbing area about 2.2 miles away, and the John Wing Trail for hiking at roughly 5.3 miles. Mountain bikers can head to Ants in the Pants and Pine Lane, both a little over 6 miles off.
