Having been to the Cape several times, I have NO idea why we have never ventured to the Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge. Wow is all I can say!!! We came fairly late in the morning around 11 am...

Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge, located in Chatham, Massachusetts, is part of the Eastern Massachusetts National Wildlife Refuge Complex. This refuge protects critical habitats for migratory birds, horseshoe crabs, tiger beetles, gray seals, and other wildlife, including the unique Monomoy Wilderness.
The refuge offers visitors a chance to unplug and reconnect with nature, with sand, dunes, marshes, and freshwater ponds spanning its eight-mile stretch off Cape Cod. Nearly half of Monomoy's 7,921 acres is designated as Wilderness, providing a pristine environment where wildlife conservation efforts thrive.

Great views! I would definitely visit there again! I go to Cape Cod every year but this was first visit to Monomoy.
I've always wanted to visit the MNNP but didn't think the public could visit. Happy for us, we parked in the lot and then walked 1/4 mile to the nearest trail. What an amazing wild coastline -...
Cape Cod is a special place with a huge amount of natural diversity. The "Elbow" of the Cape is one of my favorites. This was actually my first visit to the Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge....
Went there on a Tuesday and found out the trail access to beach was closed . So was the visitor center. Not much to see here and a wasted trip . Very disappointed !!
