Corporation Beach
Corporation Beach in mid-Cape in Dennis, MA is much like Sandwich town beach in terms of ease of entry, exit and in my opinion, one of the best shore dives on the Cape and an awesome night dive. If you want to see squid, this is the spot to have best chance to see them and just about any kind of marine life native to Cape Cod Waters. Also as with Sandwich Town beach, it is best to go in within 1 hour before and exiting 1 hour after high tide. You do not want to dive the site anytime the winds are from North, NW as it impacts the visibility greatly. It’s a pretty good location too for lobsters where the large boulders and rock fields are. Depth can get beyond 20 feet but requires a very long swim.
I tend to dive Corporation Beach early in the morning or at the end of the day as it’s less crowded with beachgoers and I can find parking closer to entry /exit point. During the day, when the lifeguards are present, divers will need to surface swim and descend away from the swimming area as there is no diving permitted in designated swimming areas.
Tide: High Tide
Winds: NW winds not ideal
Depths: 15-25Ft
Entrance: Easy beach entrance
Tidal: Recommend 1 hour before high tide
