How does anyone deal with coming back from Cape Cod?

The fishing can be fantastic too.

For exploring bay side beaches with little kids, First Encounter Beach in Eastham is our favorite. Not sure how old your little one is, but ever since my youngest was 3, he has also enjoyed Head Of The Meadow in Truro (there is a town beach and a national seashore beach). That beach (facing the Atlantic) has a large tidal pool between the beach and the ocean, goes from 2 feet deep to 5 feet deep in places, depending on the tide. My little kids loved splashing and trying to swim in that tidal pool. It's not as good as the bayside at low tide for exploring, but a great transition to exposing them to a bit of swimming.
