Exploring Bass Hole Boardwalk in Yarmouth, MA: Stunning Coastal Views and Hidden Photo Gems
Bass Hole Boardwalk (also called the Gray’s Beach Boardwalk) might just be one of the most photogenic strolls on Cape Cod. Located in Yarmouth Port, Massachusetts, this long wooden boardwalk stretches across wide-open salt marshes with sky-meets-sea views that change with every tide.
I stopped by on a moody day — the kind where low clouds hang heavy but the sun still manages to sneak through in golden rays. That combination made the landscape feel soft and cinematic, as if nature were playing with its lighting setup. It was quiet, peaceful, and honestly hard to stop snapping photos. From flying birds to fighting little crabs, there was something to see no matter where your eyes wandered.
The thing that makes this boardwalk popular is that it offers an easy, flat walk, perfect for a leisurely pace. The light and breeze shift with every few steps taken, transforming the familiar scene into a new feeling for all your senses. Whether you need some solitude with your thoughts, want to spot some beautiful birds, or need to feel the salty breeze against your skin, this boardwalk is a must-visit.
I’d love to come back for a proper sunset. It already looked incredible without it. And let’s be real, few places make gloomy and golden feel like a moldboard.
