Beech Forest is located on Race Point Road in Provincetown. There is a parking area and trail that leads visitors to this shady area of trees, a landscape that is quite a contrast from the vast dune system of the surrounding area. Before European settlement, beech tree forests were common; but today this is one of the few remaining beech forests in the area.

In addition to the beech trees, there are other plants such as mayflower, red maple, spotted wintergreen, starflower, and many more. There are also animals that can be seen in Beech Forest. These include 250 bird species like chickadee, nuthatch, and tufted titmouse, as well as foxes and turtles.
