I bet you'll say, wow Ralph what a beautiful beach over looking the Atlantic Ocean. I would have to agree however back at the hotel today I was surfing the net for information about Herring Cove Beach and you'll never guess what I found!!!
Massachusetts' only active nude beach in the summer of 2001 was located in Herring Cove Beach. Some women go topless in the lesbian section just southeast (left) of the beach's parking lot. Full nudity is usually only found about 3/4 mile further down the beach at the end of the gay men section. Although illegal, a tenuous truce with the National Park Service (NPS) generally ignores nudity there during the day.
For years the Provincetown (Ptown) nude beach scene has been at odds with the federal government's National Park Service (NPS). In 1996 and 1997 the situation degraded to the point where open animosity existed between the NPS and the local community - official, straight and gay. A Provincetown Town Meeting voted that a remote part of Herring Cove Beach should be considered a clothing optional area. Although Herring Cove Beach is part of Ptown historically, unfortunately, it and most of that part of Cape Cod are now controlled by the NPS. In a rare and uncharacteristic attempt to defuse an increasingly volatile situation, the NPS quietly began to selectively ignore the nude beach section of Herring Cove Beach.
Just goes to show you that you can't judge a beach by its sand, lol!!!! Luckly it was cold today and no nudes were seen!!!
