    Before you go

    • Check parking eligibility, current fees and seasonal restrictions for each beach. Unknown information is not a guarantee of access.
    • Confirm opening hours, admission and individual access needs with each venue.
    • Plan transport between separate stops; town membership alone does not establish a walking connection.

    More about Madaket

    Read the town background

    Madaket is the west end — the bike path ends here, the sun sets here, and the dunes off Eel Point pull in the seal-watching crowd. Millie’s is the village restaurant; it’s also the only one. The beach is wild and the rip currents can be serious.
