Local moves

·

The Herring Cove lot fills EARLY for the famous sunset -- arrive by 4 PM if you plan to stay for the show.

·

A National Parks annual pass ($80) covers both Herring Cove and Race Point. It pays for itself in 2-3 visits.

·

The summer shuttle from downtown Provincetown ($3/person) runs until after sunset -- ideal for the sunset crowd without parking stress.

·

Call the Provincetown NPS visitor center at (508) 487-1256 for live parking and shuttle information.
