At a glance
Overview
Crystal Lake is a small Orleans kettle pond with a town beach off Monument Road, managed by Orleans Parks & Beaches. A town beach sticker is required in season, and lifeguards work the pond in summer. It's a quieter, family-leaning alternative to Orleans' ocean beaches, with a sand entry and a shallow shelf. The lot is small for a Cape town beach — arrive early on hot weekends.
