Incredible place for a sunset! It’s a bit of a walk on a dirt path, and parking is limited. But it is definitely worth the walk to look due west at sunset. There are a variety of trails through this preserve to overlooks around this point in Buzzards Bay.
A lot tinier than expected. It was probably a very nice spot before it became well known on the internet. It would probably be an awesome fishing spot. I dont think it is worth visiting due to the crowd. This place should be left alone for the people who live in the area. The beach is not good either. If youre from out of town and want to sight see, the National Seashore will be a better sight.
A short walk from the parking area, but worth it. The view is beautiful of the water. There is not a lot of parking so I was say it'd be more packed on a weekend. Definitely something to check out if you are in the area. And you can walk down the the beach area.
So beautiful! The parking was super limited and the road to it is small so go early! The hike was pretty quick, like 5 minutes! There's a little beach on either side of it as well!
Watch beautiful sunset and landscape from the Knob in Cape Cod. It's highly recommendable to enjoy the evening here and relax or if you like to have a romantic proposal or engagement shooting. No admission but Parking fee might occur during daytimes.
Due to beach erosion, all of the trails to the Knob are closed. But if you are adventurous, during low tide you can access the Knob via the shoreline. It will require some grappling in a few spots but it's not impossible, I saw children and elderly managing the convoluted route. Parking is very limited and the Knob is adjacent to private property. Cape Cod during season is definitely a crowded place. We visited in February and always find parking but were never alone. Unfortunately for those with mobility issues this is yet another attraction that is inaccessible. Dogs are allowed only during the winter and please keep them on a leash.
I've been to Cape Cod a few times before. I have actually never been to The Knob before in previous years. I recommend heading up at 9 AM as it is peaceful and enjoyable. It is my favorite part of Cape Cod and the wind is so darn satisfying! It is breezy in the summer! If you want to go to Cape Cod, you must visit The Knob!
A beautiful place that gives you the panoramic view. It is a narrow lane from the parking and it is hard to imagine what lies ahead after a 15 minutes trail. Once you reach the peak and look around 360 degree, the view is just awesome. If you can manage, be around the sunset time to make best use of this opportunity. We missed it due to clouds / rains but enjoyed the stunning ocean view.
