Pleasant Bay Beach

Pleasant Bay Beach is also known as Jacknife Harbor Beach. Located along Rt 28 on Pleasant Bay, on the Harwich-Chatham town line. A very informal beach with limited parking. There are no amenities, which makes for very few people...Just the way we like it. The warm, calm waters of Pleasant Bay make this a perfect destination for families with young children. If you are looking for an uncrowded Cape Cod beach to spend a couple of hours on with your toddler, this may be your beach.
