Easy · 1.8 mi · Natural trail
A quiet, lightly used trail following Cash's Brook through scrub pine and oak woodland near North Truro. The brook drains into a small freshwater pond before reaching the bay, making this a good spot for frogs, turtles, and songbirds. The trail is cool and shaded even in summer, a welcome contrast to the open beach.
BeachOcean / Atlantic
Head of the Meadow Beach sits at the edge of the Highland plateau in northern Truro within the Cape Cod National Seashore, offering a broad, uncrowded Atlantic beach backed by characteristic Outer Cape dunes and coastal scrubland. Dual parking lots — one NPS, one Truro town — make it more accessible than most Truro ocean beaches, while the east-facing strand stays refreshingly uncommercial. Reliable surf, excellent long-walk territory in both directions, and sunrise light that arrives early and stays golden.
Cape ClassicsBookable culinary and garden workshops at Castle Hill in Truro, Cape Cod's leading arts residency. Hands-on classes cover cooking, fermentation, foraging, and seasonal kitchen gardening — set on a historic hilltop property with sweeping bay views.

Easy · 2 mi · Paved
A flat, paved 2-mile NPS bike path running through the dune-and-marsh corridor between the Head of the Meadow Beach lot and the Pilgrim Heights area in North Truro. Gentle and family-friendly, it's ideal for an easy ride or stroll with open dune and salt-marsh scenery.
Ocean / Atlantic
A quieter Atlantic-side town beach in Truro (not to be confused with the larger Coast Guard Beach in Eastham), backed by dunes with open ocean surf. Best for residents and sticker-holders seeking a less crowded stretch of the Outer Cape shoreline.
Easy · 0.5 mi · Mixed
A roughly half-mile loop in the Pilgrim Heights Area passing through abandoned farmland returning to forest, with a short boardwalk over a marshy hollow and a spur to a fine vista of the dunes and Atlantic. An easy, scenic introduction to the Outer Cape's changing landscape.
Ocean / Atlantic
A remote Atlantic-facing ocean beach below the Pilgrim Heights area of the Cape Cod National Seashore. Accessible via a steep path down from the bluffs, this beach offers dramatic dune scenery, strong surf, and the wide-open feeling of the outer beach. Minimal crowds due to the hike required.
Bay / Sound
Truro's classic Cape Cod Bay beach off Corn Hill Road, with calm warm water, gentle tidal flats, and famous west-facing sunsets over the bay. One of the few Truro beaches with a daily pay option, making it the easiest for day-trip visitors.
