Buttonbush Trail, with special features for the blind, starts at Salt Pond Visitor Center.

Swimming
Seasonal lifeguard services and other related facilities are located at these beaches: Coast Guard, Nauset Light, Marconi, Head of the Meadow, Race Point, and Herring Cove. Several towns also have public beaches; all charge fees.

Surfing
Windsurfing within the National Seashore surfing is permitted in waters outside lifeguarded beaches.

Bicycling
Cycling Cape Cod is a wonderful experience. You can use roads outside the the National Seashore area to move quickly enough up and down the Cape without needing to depend on a car. The Seashore maintains three bicycle trails ranging from 1.6 to 7.3 miles long. Roller-skating, skateboarding, and the use of motorized vehicles, including mopeds, on these paved trails are prohibited. Bicycles may be rented within the towns.

Fishing
Try surf-fishing from the many beaches, but stay away from swimmers. No license is required for saltwater fishing, but a state license is required for freshwater fishing. Town licenses for shellfishing are required. Regulations and fees vary among the towns.

Hunting
Upland game and migratory waterfowl may be hunted in certain areas in the specified season. There is no open season on non-game species. Ask for a brochure on hunting opportunities and restrictions. Federal, state, and local laws apply.

Travel Services
All camping, including trailers on the beach, is prohibited except in private campgrounds. The National Park Service does not operate a campground, but Nickerson State Park in nearby Brewster offers camping on a first-come, first-served basis. In nearby towns you can find sleeping and camping accommodations. Reservations at motels, hotels, and private campgrounds are essential in the summer.
