A small, quiet bay pocket beach at the end of Fisher Road, named for a 19th-century family who lived nearby. The bay-side setting keeps the water calmer and warmer than Truro's ocean beaches, and a tiny lot of about 10 spaces keeps crowds thin even in summer.

Common questions
Is Fisher Beach in Truro open today?
Fisher Beach 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.
How far is this from Pamet Harbor?
Fisher Beach sits just south of Pamet Harbor's mouth. The harbor's separate town boat ramp (on Depot Road) is nearby but is not part of Fisher Beach itself.
Why does it feel so much quieter than Truro's other beaches?
The lot has room for roughly 10 cars, among the smallest of any Truro beach, which naturally caps how many people are ever there at once.
Is there parking at Fisher Beach, and what does it cost?
Free lot (Free outside sticker-enforcement window; Truro Beach Parking Sticker required in season). Fisher Road lot
