Corn Hill Beach
An afternoon on the bay.
A boardwalk approach to the sand.
Corn Hill is a useful beach to know even if it is not the closest to your cottage. The boardwalk and larger parking area make the arrival different from Truro’s stairway and dune-path beaches. Bring lunch and let the afternoon be about the water.
The useful details
Access, parking, and facilities
September 2026: The town has announced a parking-area closure to vehicles and pedestrians beginning September 28 for maintenance. Check the town’s reopening updates.
- Getting onto the beach
- Boardwalk access from Corn Hill Road.
- Parking
- 164 parking spaces; seasonal stickers and daily passes are offered.
- Facilities
- Seasonal portable toilets, bike racks, and beach wheelchairs listed by the town. No lifeguard; contact the beach office about wheelchair availability.
Worth knowing: Boardwalk access is not a promise of an accessible trip all the way to the water. Confirm current conditions and any equipment needs with the town.
Before driving to Corn Hill 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.
