Cockle Cove is situated between Ridgevale and Forest Street beach on the warm, calm waters of Nantucket Sound.  Like its neighborhing beaches this is a favorite for those with small children and makes a great launch for windsurfers and kayakers. The comfortably-sized beach parking lot lies at the end of Cockle Cove Road in South Chatham.

This is a town-managed beach with a life guard on duty and bathroom facilities.  A parking pass is required and available at the beach toll booth.  Non-resident daily parking is $15, while a one-week sticker is $60 and a season sticker is $125.  Non residents must purchase their passes by paying cash at the booth.  Residents can get season stickers at the permit department  at 283 George Ryder Road, (508) 945-5180.
