Coast Guard Beach
The Atlantic at the end of Coast Guard Road.
The Truro one, not the Eastham one.
There are two Cape Cod beaches with this name, so put Truro into your directions. This one is reached from Highland Road, the same part of North Truro you might explore for Highland Light and Highland Links. Parking is the practical catch: the small lot includes a substantial resident-only allocation.
The useful details
Access, parking, and facilities
- Getting onto the beach
- At the end of Coast Guard Road, reached from Highland Road. This is the Truro beach, not the beach of the same name in Eastham.
- Parking
- 17 spaces, including 10 reserved for Truro resident sticker holders. Seasonal town sticker required; no daily pass.
- Facilities
- Seasonal portable toilet and bike racks; no food vendor or lifeguard. Accessible parking is listed, but beach access is not.
Worth knowing: With most spaces reserved for residents, a visitor sticker leaves very few parking options here. Have another ocean beach in mind.
Before driving to Coast Guard Beach, check the parking and sticker requirements . Use tide predictions for your shore and date; a tide chart does not establish safe swimming conditions.
Bringing a dog or planning an evening fire? Read the seasonal dog restrictions or beach-fire permit instructions separately. Parking permission does not cover those activities.
