Edit Beach Info | Add Photo

This beach is located South West of North Falmouth. This beach is a sandy beach
During the summer it can be very busy so plan to arrive early.
Parking available for 20$/day or 200$ for the season. The parking is very small and therefore limit the capacity of the beach as it is impossible to park anywhere else nearby (another reason to go there early).
For people who like to swim, the water at Old Silver Beach is warmer than anywhere else in New England.

Long recognized as one of Cape Cod's most beautiful beaches, the white sands of Old Silver Beach have been home to a rich history of entertainment enterprises on the grounds now occupied by the Sea Crest Resort. During the 1930's an elegant summer playhouse featured aspiring actors who later became prominent stars of stage and screen. Henry Fonda, Jimmy Stewart, Margaret Sullavan and director Josh Logan were among the notables who honed their skills on this stage. A fire in 1936 destroyed the theater and the hurricane of 1938 swept the beach clean of all structures. In 1942 Lou Walters opened the Latin Quarter, a hotel and dinner theater, which soon became Cape Cod's favorite nocturnal playground. Lou's daughter,celebrity interviewer Barbara Walters, grew up on the sands of Old Silver Beach. The property was expanded in 1962 and converted to a year-round family resort in 1971. The Sea Crest, now managed by Finch Hotels & Resorts, Inc.. continues to build its reputation as one of New England's premier resorts, each year hosting a growing number of visitors and conference attendees from around the world, who seek out the charm of Cape Cod's beauty, informal atmosphere and unhurried pace.
