Common questions
Is Beach Point in Truro open today?
Beach Point is not monitored right now. MA DPH samples beach water Memorial Day to Labor Day and posts no advisories or all-clears off-season, so there is no swim status to report. Swimming off-season is at your own risk.
Do I need a parking sticker here?
No - Beach Point is the one Truro beach where the small Shore Road lot is free and doesn't require a Truro Beach Parking Sticker.
Is it good for young kids?
It's a calm bay beach with small waves, generally gentler than Truro's ocean-side beaches, though there's no lifeguard so keep a close eye on children.
Are there restrooms at Beach Point?
Public restrooms are listed near the beach. Seasonal hours are common, so they may be closed off-season.
What rules should I know at Beach Point?
No alcohol; no glass; no overnight camping; up to 2 beach fires permitted per day.
Can you swim at Beach Point?
There is no MA DPH swim status for Beach Point off-season: the state samples beach water Memorial Day to Labor Day. Swimming off-season is at your own risk; check conditions posted at the beach.
Are dogs allowed at Beach Point?
Prohibited 9am-6pm, 3rd Saturday in June through Labor Day (general town rule); not among the beaches with a currently posted shorebird-nesting closure
Is there an entry fee at Beach Point?
No, entry is free.
