Craigville is where surf, sky, and village life come together on the south side of Barnstable. Home to one of Cape Cod’s most beloved stretches of sand, Craigville Beach draws swimmers, kiteboarders, and sunset-watchers to its warm Nantucket Sound waters, seasonal lifeguards, and wide shoreline. Tucked just inland are weathered cottages and classic lanes that make summer strolls to ice cream or morning coffee feel effortless, with Covell’s Beach and the Centerville River offering calm alternatives to the open ocean.
Everyday convenience is close at hand. Browse village shops in Centerville, enjoy a night out in Hyannis, or window-shop in Osterville — all just minutes away. Summer brings live performances under the big top at the Cape Cod Melody Tent, while local favorites like Four Seas Ice Cream keep lines happily forming on warm evenings.
Families value the strong local school network through Barnstable Public Schools, with Centerville Elementary and Barnstable High serving many neighborhood students. Lifelong learners appreciate the programs and community events at the Centerville Public Library, and active residents can easily pivot between beach days, paddling on the river, and bike rides along quiet side streets.
Whether you’re searching for a year-round home that keeps you close to the sand or a seasonal retreat with quick access to town amenities, Craigville offers a classic Cape experience with everyday practicality.
