    Herring Cove Beach is a fantastic beach on the west side of P-town. The waters along this beach are calmer in comparison to the larger waves and rougher currents at the nearby Race Point Beach, which is on the Atlantic side. Because it is west facing, Herring Cove Beach is an incredibly popular place to watch the sunset.

    Herring Cove Beach is part the National Seashore at Race Point. It is a must-do if you're biking on the Outer Cape with beautiful and varied trails of approximately 8 miles. Also a fantastic place to walk, including on unpaved, sand paths to the lighthouse and other destinations. 5 stars.

    Embark on an easy touring bicycle ride along the Province Lands Bike Trail, a paved route covering 8.9 miles (14.3 km) with a gentle elevation gain of 192 feet (59 metres). You can complete this scenic loop in about 50 minutes, making it perfect for a quick outing. As you pedal, you'll wind through the varied landscapes of Cape Cod National Seashore, passing peaceful sand dunes that open up to expansive ocean views. The trail also takes you through serene pine and beech forests, past cranberry bogs, and alongside salt marshes, offering glimpses of local wildlife.

    Parking is readily available at several access points throughout the Cape Cod National Seashore, making it convenient to start your ride. While the route is generally easy, be prepared for some undulating terrain and gentle inclines in certain sections. The trail is well-maintained, but after rain, you might encounter loose sand or standing water, so consider your tire choice and plan your visit accordingly.

    This route offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the diverse ecosystems of Cape Cod. You can easily access Herring Cove Beach directly from the trail for a seaside break, or pause to enjoy the panoramic Ocean and Sand Dunes View. The Province Lands Bike Trail provides a refreshing way to experience the natural beauty and coastal charm of this iconic New England destination.
