Not for the faint of heart, Wellfleet’s oceanside beaches feature massive dunes, cool waters, heavy surf, seals, sharks and a party atmosphere. The more laid back bayside beaches offer warmer, calmer waters and tidal pools. And don’t overlook Wellfleet’s best kept secret, the freshwater ponds.

Wellfleet beach passes are required to park between the hours of 9am – 5pm from the third Saturday in June through Labor Day. Town beach parking lots are free all other times. Passes can be used at all Truro beaches with the exception of Cahoon Hollow Beach and Marconi Beach
