Enjoy the Cape Cod National Seashore Car Free

From Chatham to Provincetown, Henry David Thoreau’s “bare, bended arm of Cape Cod” is home to the Cape Cod National Seashore. Spectacular barrier beaches, marshes and sand dunes draw thousands of visitors but, regrettably, too many cars. You do have energy-saving choices.

Consider Green Visits to the Seashore by Bus, Bicycle or Foot

In Provincetown, visit Herring Cove Beach, Race Point Beach or the Province Lands Visitor Center by taking The Shuttle from May through October. Meet the Shuttle at MacMillan Pier in Provincetown or flag it down anywhere along its route. Take your bike aboard for free. Reach Provincetown via the Flex bus or the Plymouth & Brockton coach.

Throughout the year, reach the Seashore’s Salt Pond Visitor Center via the Flex & P&B buses. In season bring your bike, and pedal to the Little Creek Parking Area for a free tram to Coast Guard Beach. As an option, try the Nauset Bicycle Trail to the water’s edge. (Disabled visitors may park in the beach lot.)
