Outer Cape Bike Trails
Bike trails through dunes of Cape Cod offer the
bicycle traveler many views of the natural world of the
outer beaches.
Though simple and quiet, the villages offer bike
rental shops along the trail and you pass near
lighthouses, windmill museums, nature preserves,
art and history museums, a winery, an airport with
sightseeing flights, and campgrounds,
Many amenities are just a short walk or drive from
the Bike trails that run near and through the dunes
and beaches of Orleans, Truro, Wellfleet, and
Provincetown.
There is no better way to experience the wildness of
this land than on a bicycle.
On the Outer Cape you can spread on a little sun
block, pack a copy of Henry Beston’s, The
Outermost House, and peddle your way between
Coastguard Beach, Highland Light and the
Provincelands Dunes and beaches.
Cape Cod Rail Trail
The former railroad bed now turned bicycle path, and
the Nauset Dune Trail, a system that winds through
Beach forest and high dunes, together contain over
fifty miles of off-road bicycle and walking trails.
The Cape Cod Rail Trail is a largely off-road trail
that travels for over 25 miles through Brewster's
Nickerson State Park and then through Orleans
Rock Harbor in Orleans and on to Eastham and The
Cape Cod National Sea Shore’s Salt Pond
Visitors Center.
At the center, you can continue to the windward
Nauset Shore or to the north and reach the end of
the Rail Trail at Lecount Hollow in the town of
Wellfleet.
At several places along the way, there is ample free
parking, if one chooses not to travel the entire 25
miles by bicycle.

From the end of the Bike Trail at Lecount Hollow, a
short drive towards Provincetown will bring you to
the Nauset Dunes bike trail system, with its paved
bicycle paths through the dunes and along the beach
at the very tip of Cape Cod.
Try some seafood on your journey at Rock Harbor, the
small port right on the bike trail on The Cape Cod Bay
side or inner crook of the elbow of Cape Cod.
Captain Cass’s Rock Harbor Seafood Restaurant and
Young’s Fish Market, dine in or get local steamer
clams and fresh cooked Lobster to go.
Rock Harbor’s sport fishing fleet comes in
twice a day with catches of Striped Bass, Bluefish,
Mackerel, Tuna, Sharks, Flounder, Fluke and Cod.

Henry David Thoreau, passed through Cape Cod in
1849, writing detailed descriptions of treeless
solitude. To this day, a barren starkness prevails on
the high Nauset dunes, just as Thoreau described it
in his journal, Cape Cod. (Click Here for Text,
Cape Cod)
The sea has reclaimed several hundred feet of the
Nauset-side cliffs and dunes since Thoreau’s time,
but one can still walk as Thoreau did, on over twenty-
five miles of unobstructed beach, from Eastham to
far distant Provincetown’s Race Point.
For those that want warm water and small waves,
two beaches are a little more than a mile from the
Rail Trail. Follow Skaket Beach Road in Orleans to
the end and find a sand beach. To the right, as you
face the ocean, you can find privacy in the dune area
near the stream outlet.
The water is shallow for a half mile, with the flats
totally uncovering at low tide.
Further North along the Rail Trail you will come to
Eastham and find another beach, this one named
for the less than cordial first meeting in 1620,
between the Pilgrims of Miles Standish and the
resident native population: First Encounter Beach.

The network of bike trails includes Herring Cove Beach
on the tip of Cape Cod. Many folks surf fish for Striped
Bass that feed along the shore. From the parking lot
adjacent to the beach, the bike and walking trail is on
your right as you face the ocean. The trail extends into
the Provinceland Dunes, connecting with the
Beach Forest Trail and The Race Point Trail.
Both of these trailheads have large public parking lots.
This unspoiled land changes with the winds and the
elemental forces of nature are never far from view.
No better way to see all than on a slow bike ride.
