Beach Sticker Sales

Make the most of your vacation on Cape Cod at the beach! Purchase your stickers online in advance to avoid the lines and hassle of going to Town Hall. Stickers can be mailed to you so that you are ready to hit the beach the moment you cross the bridge!

Please note, stickers can be purchased in the town you are vacationing in. For example, if you are staying in the town of Dennis you can purchase a beach sticker from the town of Dennis. You would then be able to visit any public beach in the town of Dennis. Some of the towns allow you to purchase your beach sticker online before you arrive, others ask you to pick them up at Town Hall.
