Herring Cove Beach is the most popular beach in Provincetown and considered one of America’s best beaches. Managed by the Cape Cod National Seashore, this beach offers traditional amenities such as bathrooms, showers, picnic tables, and a food vendor. The two parking areas offer two different beach experiences, convenience to the beach or to the amenities. The soft sand has a light mix of dried seaweed from high-tides, and the slope to the water is gradual. Some rocky areas are in the parking area next to the beach. Water tends to be calm and handicap beach chairs are available. Summer concerts are held here in July and August.
