The Beachcomber

Description:

• Arguably the best dance club on Cape Cod, the 'Comber -- housed in an 1897 lifesaving station -- is definitely the most scenic, and not just in terms of the youthful clientele. It's right on Cahoon Hollow Beach -- so close, in fact, that late beachgoers on summer weekends can count on a free concert: reggae, perhaps, or the homegrown Toots and the Maytalls. Other nights, you might run into blues, ska, or rock, and often some very big names playing mostly for the fun of it. Parking is tricky here because the restaurant is on a busy beach where parking costs $15. If you park in the Beachcomber lot before 5pm, the $15 cost can be put toward food or a T-shirt at the restaurant. After 5pm, parking is free. Open late June to early September daily noon to 1am; call for off-season hours. Closed early September to late May.
