Its sand is the classic flaxen-gold that epitomizes the area beaches. Each time I visit I feel that the sand begs me to take my shoes off and dig my feet into the under layer, where it turns from sun-kissed hot to cool and calming.<\/p>\n<p>This beach seems to have the same draw for many others, too. Throngs of people from Cape Cod and thousands of miles away constantly fill the beach all summer. Couples sunbathe, children build sandcastles, and families scour the beach for hidden shells and rocks. Groups start up volleyball and Frisbee matches on the beach.<\/p>\n<p>When I was growing up, a major treat was to run up to the snack bar at the top of the beach to get an ice cream. We didn&#8217;t go often, but I remember being coated in red popsicle and melted ice cream sandwich more than once. To this day seeing the stand brings back all of those memories.<\/p>\n<p>As the beach day would wear on and the sun would start to set, my family and I would pack up and head back to Bourne for dinner. To this day, I stop off at the Whistle Stop Ice Cream Shop, Ben and Bills Chocolate Emporium, or the Somerset Creamery for ice cream. I find that locals and tourists alike share space at places such as Anejo and Grumpy&#8217;s Pub. On occasion, I head to the Highfield Theatre to take in a play as part of the thriving theater community on Cape Cod.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/old-silver-beach-falmouth-cape-cod.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4492\" src=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/old-silver-beach-falmouth-cape-cod.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/old-silver-beach-falmouth-cape-cod.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/old-silver-beach-falmouth-cape-cod-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/old-silver-beach-falmouth-cape-cod-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/old-silver-beach-falmouth-cape-cod-530x398.jpg 530w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Need more beautiful options? <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/collections\/sterling-beach-style\"><em>Shop our beach style collection<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4492,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[256],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>My Favorite Beach Sand For Jewelry From Old Silver Beach | Dune Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"I\u2019ve always known Old Silver Beach as the place to be.
