Let's face it, cold water can be tough. I don't know anyone who loves a nice cold ocean to swim in. Massachusetts is not know for its super warm ocean temperatures, but there are a few spots on Cape Cod that'll get the job done.

Craigville Beach in the Town of Barnstable is known to have 'the warmest water'

Beaches in the Nantucket Sound have the warmest waters in Massachusetts.

Craigville Beach, Cape Cod is one of the most popular Nantucket Sound beaches, especially for families. It’s one of the warmest beaches on Cape Cod with the water temperature often reaching the mid-70s during the peak season as warm Gulf Stream waters run up along the south of the Cape.
