Head of the
Meadow
Truro offers some of the most secluded and beautiful beaches
open to the public on Cape Cod. The glacial cliffs/sand dunes of
the Outer Cape reach their highest point in Truro, exceeding 100
feet in some spots. Miles and miles of continuous sand beaches
remain largely undisturbed and undeveloped.
Head of the Meadow Beach is one of Truro's finest ocean-side
beaches. There is actually a Truro town beach and also a
National Park beach here. The beach itself is a popular family
sun-bathing destination and is sometimes home to friendly
volleyball matches. The ever-changing sandbars, which run along
the beach, attract many swimmers and waders, and can provide
some of the most exciting body-surfing available in the area. At
low tide you may even catch a glimpse of the remains of one of
Cape Cod's many shipwrecks.
This is the only ocean side Truro town beach which is open to
the public, for a daily parking fee of $10. Both beaches have
ample parking, restroom facilities, and lifeguards. An ice cream
truck routinely visits to offer snacks and refreshments.
