Herring Cove Beach

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.

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!

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.

Beautiful beach! I visited shortly after Labor day in 2023 and it was a perfect day. The snack bar isn't a typical hot dog type, think lobster roll with some more common snack bar options. You can even get an ice cold beer! Check the hours if plan on eating and if you get there early. The water is beautiful, my only other recommendation is to take water shoes, it's really rocky at the shore getting to water. The entire park is clean. Let's keep it that way

Loved it. The restrooms and changing rooms are very very well maintained. Two life guards were there as well. Lovely peaceful beach.

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!

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.
