Provincetown Causeway — Attraction in Provincetown

Walking the causeway was a fun little adventure - the views were stellar and the sunset was out of this world.

It was longer than I realized, but was fantastic. The rocks can be seriously uneven in places, and you’ll want to have decent shoes on.

Also, at least 3 parts of the causeway are underwater at high tide, and with no other method to get back to the mainland (aside from a boat), you’ll want to time it right. ;) It took my wife and I about 30 - 45 minutes to walk it each way (that includes lots of stops to take pictures).

It was cool to see the seagulls dropping clams, searching for food and generally doing their thing (they flew past us VERY low at two different times, which was amazing to see up close - I literally ducked as it was gliding over me).

The quiet beach it leads to is great. Clean, lots of beautiful rocks, seals, and we spotted a whale just as we came over the top of the dunes.

If you can, I’d highly recommend checking out - and walking the...

I highly recommend walking the Provincetown Causeway to anyone who is able and willing to take a long, rocky, adventurous walk to a more secluded part of the Cape. My friends and I went on a cloudy/cooler summer day, which perfectly complimented all of the walking and scrambling on rocks we ended up doing--would not have enjoyed doing all that in the heat. Once we crossed the causeway, we walked some of the dune trails and checked out the Wood End Light. Be aware that some of the granite slabs that make up the causeway can be a little bit damp and therefore slightly slippery at times, but if you wear sturdy shoes, are generally careful, and use your hands as points of contact when necessary, you should be fine. Overall, there are very unique and beautiful experiences to be had at this feature of Provincetown, especially if you're looking to...

I was a bit worried at first because we only had flip-flops and a lot of people wrote that you need to wear sneakers to cross. However, I ended up going barefoot 😄 To me, the rocks are pretty easy to walk on, they’re laid out in a way that makes it simple to step across. I also saw during high tide that people had to stop and take off their sneakers to get through spots where the rocks were under water. So, if you are only crossing the Causeway and not going all the way to Long Point Lighthouse, I think sneakers are not necessary. But if you are going all the way to the lighthouse, I’d definitely recommend sneakers. We really loved that at high tide you can swim right from the rocks. The water is warm, clean, and completely calm. It is perfect for swimming, paddleboarding...
