The Cape Cod Beaches in Truro are split between the calm waters and expansive tidal flats of Cape Cod Bay, and the raw, untamed Cape Cod beaches of the Atlantic Ocean.
Truro is one of the last towns of the Cape to retain the “feel” of Olde Cape Cod.
Located on the outer Cape, Truro lacks the commercialization of other parts of the Cape.
