About

This visually stunning beach is home to some surf that is great for both surfing and body surfing. The beach is sandy and is a nice spot to relax, it is also roomy enough so that it allows space for various beach games. During some months of the year, a large tide pool is left behind when the tide goes out perfect for children to play in.

Due to staffing reductions, there will be no lifeguards during summer 2020. There will also be no fees at Head of the Meadow.

Stunning beach! Worth the climb up the trail to the pristine beach, beautiful water, and magical views! Always fun to spot the seals. We've even seen an orca whale there! Bathrooms and changing areas are very clean.

Head of the Meadow is an ocean side beach in North Truro. We a have visited just all the National Seashore beaches from Eastam to Ptown, my family of 4 agrees that this is by far their favorite. It is simply beautiful.

Not crowded. Clean restrooms. If you have a national parks pass, it's free! If you don't have one, buy one. You'll make your money back within the week, because a day pass is $25.

Be ready to climb over dunes and deep sand to get to your favorite spot. The shark flags were flying when we were there. We saw seals in the water and a part of a shipwreck at low tide.

Beautiful national seashore beach. If you are vacationing with younger children you may want to consider the calmer bayside beaches.
