Herring Cove Beach — South End

No reviews yet

Province Lands Rd, Provincetown, MA, Massachusetts, 02657, United States

Provincetown's primary bay-side beach within Cape Cod National Seashore, facing west across Cape Cod Bay with famous sunsets. The informal gay section has gathered at the south end for decades — one of the great outdoor gay social spaces on the East Coast in July and August. Reach it via Province Lands Road, bike trail, or the seasonal shuttle from town. NPS lifeguards, restrooms, and a snack bar in season. Nudity is common in the gay section though not officially sanctioned. Combine with a Boatslip tea dance for the full P-town summer day.
