Herring Cove Beach

Herring Cove Beach is one of Provincetown’s most popular and accessible beaches. It is not officially a gay beach, but in Provincetown you can expect a very LGBTQ+ crowd, particularly in summer.

Set within the Cape Cod National Seashore, Herring Cove is known for its broad sandy shoreline, calm swimming conditions and spectacular sunsets. It is also a great spot for views across the water towards Provincetown and the surrounding coastline.

The seasonal Provincetown Shuttle runs directly to Herring Cove Beach from town, making it easy to visit without a car. Food facilities can vary by season, so it is worth checking what is open before you go.
