Review & FAQ:

Located on Province Lands Road, Herring Cove Beach is the most popular beach in Provincetown. One of the reasons that this beach is so popular is its location: it lies on the bay and so the water is calm and perfect for swimming even for children. Unlike Race Point Beach, there is no undertow and the water is warmer at Herring Cove Beach.

Managed by the Cape Cod National Seashore, the beach has several facilities such as a concession stand, lifeguards, showers, and restrooms. People also enjoy coming to this beach to see the seals relaxing in the sun and the whales breaching out at sea. The sunsets are particularly beautiful here.
