Common questions
Is Sunken Meadow in Eastham open today?
Open, no advisory on record in the latest MA DPH posting (updated 2026-07-16). MA DPH is the authority. Check the status the morning you go.
Where do I park if the lot is full?
The South Sunken Meadow Rd lot is very small and fills quickly; unlike Cook's Brook, First Encounter, and Wiley Park, no daily pass is sold here, so there's no cash-day-of alternative on site if you don't already have a sticker.
Are there restrooms at Sunken Meadow?
Public restrooms are listed near the beach. Seasonal hours are common, so they may be closed off-season.
What rules should I know at Sunken Meadow?
No lifeguard on duty. No animals/pets on the beach or in the parking area June 15-Labor Day.
