So convenient you can drive to the cove and park just steps away from the ocean.Awesome landscape pics for the taking including the race point lighthouse and beautiful sunsets... and you don't have to get out of the car to enjoy the views. Also this is a great place to have a 'to go' lunch from the Stop n Shop grocery store if you're a budget traveler.
A perfect place to watch the sunset. Arrive early and proceed to the farthest parking area for a wonderful view of the sun going down. Watch the sea gulls drifting on the breeze. In the distance hou will see Race Point Lighthouse winking at you!
We visited during the winter. We had the whole view to ourselves, watched the large ships going by, walked along the beach as long as we could before we got too cold. I'm not sure how packed it gets in the summer but am glad we saw it and had it all to ourselves.
my fav. so many places to sit . so many different folks. 31 yrs and no changes. Thank God. Just please, visitors and angry "ladies' who bike here, (sorry, my observations...not yours), drive slow. We are all on vacation. So, if i go slow over speed bump, and you have an 'earth 'sticker' and 'be calm sticker', dont ride my cars bumper. I earned my peace after 30 yrs. and calm. I love this beach. and see whales, seals all time. And dont fish where we sit. Guys, in mobile homes, who fish, move down the beach. I almost got a hook in me many times. Awareness..............is key. thank you and I am blessed to visit there year after year................
We were here on a sunny day in October and the long wide beach was empty. The sky was a sparkling blue and we had a wonderful walk. Must be lovely in the summer too and for winter walks.
Visited the beach only in the evening for the sunset. Arrive early to get a good parking spot -- even in late September, there were dozens of vehicles parked along the shore -- but not too early: if you're there before 5, you have to pay to park.
The sand dunes here are not the largest around but does make for a nice change in scenery from the lush woods and surf beaches we've been seeing all week in Cape Cod. The beach was also less crowded than most of the other beaches we've been to in the area. Parking is $15 from mid-June. We took a shot drive around Province Lands Road, looping with Race Point Road, which brought us through picturesque sand dunes and other marine plants. Stop by the Province Lands Visitor Center for panoramic views of Herring Cove and Race Point beaches.
Great to use the cycle trails to get there from Provincetown but there's a huge car park. Seals are regularly seen there too.
You are part of something when you go here to watch the sunset. Bring your blanket, your bttl of wine, your time to exhale
I heard the locals liked this one best and I have to agree. Beautiful views, nice walking area toward the lighthouse, waves were small, but could be time of year, comparable to Race Point.
