Unfortunately, the facilities building (Toilets, Showers, Concessions) was demolished at the end of the 2012 season, and is STILL in the processes of being replaced. Beach is clean and free of trash, plenty of parking when I visited...but surprised at how crowded the lot was for a weekday, but got a parking spot and a beach spot easy enough.

Drove from my hometown of Sandwich, MA to Provincetown on Memorial Day. Walked around P-Town for a couple of hours and then headed over to Herring Cove Beach for sunset. This was perhaps the most stunning sunset I've ever seen on the East coast! Go there and see for yourself, spectacular!
