Bellows Beach is only open to the public from noon on Fridays to Midnight on Sundays. Otherwise a Military ID is required to get in.

Bellows is a really nice beach with some really beautiful blue waters. A kind of blue that screams tropical paradise so photographers will love shooting here. If the ocean is calm it's a great beach to swim and play in but if the ocean is rumbling a bit there can be some surf that may not be the best for kids. The sand here is very fine so the water tends to get a little murky from the nearshore sand churn.

You can also camp on this beach and it tends to be packed with weekend campers. The camping is located in the forested areas along the beach which make it nice and shady. Just don't expect much in the way of privacy if you camp here because you'll have lots of neighbors. This is also a popular spot for fishing so bring a pole, setup shop, and enjoy a relaxing day by the ocean.
