Herring Cove Beach

We usually come to this beach for swimming and sun, but this year we came early evening for the best sunset views in Provincetown! Plenty of parking at night, and often it’s free that time of day. Get there about 1/2 hour before sunset; you won’t be disappointed!

This beach is beautiful! Location is close to the main part of Provencetown. It’s clean & the shore has a nice mix of sand and quartz. We’ve been here 3x now & it doesn’t disappoint. Brought the kids & they loved it. The bathrooms were clean and stocked each time we visited. It’s a must stop when we’re in town.

Dogs are allowed on leash during summer (toward the left side of the beach) - so nice to be able to chill at the beach with your fur babies and see other doggies doing the same. There are a dumpster and restrooms at the entrance. The high tide during the day was around 3:30pm when we were there.

Absolutely breathtaking! 1st of all, it's the sea shell collector's galore! Water is so gorgeous and clear and so turquoise! Waves are non-existent! I had a wonderful time just walking along the shore, chasing the headlight- wood end light, i believe. I walked about 1.5 until i turned around. Such a beautiful scenery, pristine blue waters backed up by sand dunes, just breathtaking. Besides the gorgeous scenery, the beach offers lifeguards, connections, showers, and restrooms. The parking, i believe, was $25 and included other parks as well, map included

This is a national park and a $25 daily fee per car is required to enter. During season, be sure to get there early as the parking lots can fill up. There is a cute outdoor restaurant serving burgers and sandwiches. The beach is amazing, but can be busy during season. There are restrooms with showers and changing rooms so it makes for a great beach day all around!
