As we all know, beaches can get loud and crowded, and that can make the experience of going to the beach disappointing at times. However, this Massachusetts beach is quiet, relaxing, and doesn't contain big crowds.

Massachusetts is Home to a Relaxing and Quiet Beach

According to WorldAtlas, Keyes Memorial Beach, located in Cape Cod (Barnstable), is quiet and lacks crowds. Plus, the beach is a great option for families. Here's an excerpt from the site's review of Keyes Memorial Beach.

This family-friendly spot is a little quieter as it is less easily (or cost-effectively) available, hidden away in the Hyannis neighborhood of Barnstable. It has soft, clean sand paired with calm waves, perfect for swimming (when the lifeguards are on duty), as well as picnic tables, barbecue grills, a snack bar, restrooms, and showers with a handicap-accessible parking lot on Ocean Avenue. The beach is surrounded by some parkland, but Barnstable also has many hiking trails and other attractions for your exploration.
