The trail is located in the Cape Cod National Seashore near Provincetown. The best place to park is at the rotary at Pilgrim’s landing, where there’s normally tons of room in the off-season.

One of our top tips for this hike is to know the tide schedule! Plan on journeying out at low tide for the easiest experience. You should also mind the gaps between boulders at the breakwater.
