Bears On The Beach
This is a free event for all Bear Week Provincetown visitors.
Looking to hit the beach but want to be around all the Bears you have seen in town? Parking (parking fee) is available at Herring Cove Beach and bike parking along Rt. 6A (see map in booklet). Look for the Bear Flag about ½ hour walk down beach to the left (south west) from parking lot, or across the backwater from the bike fence on Province Lands Road. (Be sure to bring water and sunscreen). The Bears stake out a part of the beach every year nearly everyday during Bear Week, but this is the one day you know there will be Bears on the beach!
