Truro

Things To Do

Be sure to make time for a trip to the Highland Museum and nearby Highland Light. The view across the National Seashore, which comprises an estimated 70 percent of the town, is worth every step up the lighthouse. A museum visit gives you insights into the lives of the people of Truro dating back to early European settlers and the Native Americans that preceded them.

Beach It!

Head to Corn Hill Beach and nearby Corn Hill—so named because the Mayflower Pilgrims found a cache of corn hidden here by the Indians—for a gorgeous drive on old winding roads, followed by terrific views of the bay and Provincetown plus houses perched treacherously on the edge of the cliffs. This is the only bayside Truro town beach open to the public.
