Baxter Avenue Beach
Baxter Avenue Beach is a small neighborhood beach located at the end of Baxter Avenue and is great for watching the Hyannis-Nantucket ferries, fishing boats, and yachts travel by. This small beach is really best for those who are renting in the nearby area. Sand has a heavy mix of crushed shells and pebbles with clumps of seaweed scattered across the beach. At the water’s edge bands of each are left behind from the tides. The water is warm for a New England beach, and the waves are small with the exception of boat wakes.
