Herring Cove Beach

Lovely beach for a winter fire. Can get permits at Salt Pond Visitors Center.

One of my very favorite beaches on Cape Cod. You get both the ocean side and the bay side! Easy access, tons of parking, dog-friendly, very nice rest rooms and shower facilities, and even a snack bar with a covered picnic table area. It just couldn’t be any better.

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!

Rocky Beach but incredibly beautiful. Provincetown is LOVE ❤️

Great spot to recharge on the beach. Have been during the off season and the whole lot was empty and during 4th of July and there was still parking. Getting to the lot requires entering the National Seashore but if you pick up an annual national parks pass it will get you in too. The beach is nice and usually isn’t too crowded. This is a great place to park if trekking out to Boys Beach, just make sure to bring shoes as the walk takes about 30 mins from the lot at low tide. There are showers and restrooms available.

My favorite bay side beach on the Cape. If you head left when you come in the entrance there's a large parking lot, changing rooms (very clean), flush bathrooms, and a lifeguard. The water here is incredible clear for bay side. The beach is spacious (the sand is like pebble sand here rather than fine sand).
