The Knob

Took a very quick walk here before sunset. Took the main trail out and were going to come back along another trail but it appeared to be closed and diverted along the beach. This is definitely a fantastic place to stop with a short walk from the parking lot. Some construction currently happening in the area but everything appears to be full accessible. Nice spot to sit at the top.

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!

The Knob offers quintessential Cape Cod scenery and beautiful panoramic views of Buzzards Bay. I would highly recommend a sunset walk, if you can. Additionally, the nearby Quisset Harbor has great maritime sights for those who enjoy looking at boats. One caveat: There are a couple of different paths you can take to get to The Knob. There is a sign close to the beach that says something along the lines of "Please use this path to get to The Knob," but that path will take you on a ~10-minute hike through narrow woods. If you like that sort of thing, then go for it! However, there is a more direct and easy path to The Knob if you go through the parking lot to the right of that sign. If you have small children or elderly folks with you, this would be the way to go.
