Truro, Cape Cod

Truro's quiet, unpretentious simplicity is both charming and misleading--this is a town full of interesting people and unexpected events. Truro's wild natural beauty come from the dramatic combination of sandy cliffs and prehistoric kettle holes which make its beaches unsurpassed. Home of Cape Cod's oldest lighthouse, Highland Light, this town has a year round population of only 1500, who enjoy an Annual Dump Dance, a real dance at a real dump, symbolic of the self-effacing eccentricity of its residents. Truro has a number of summer homes in strikingly modern architecture not typical of the rest of the Cape. There are a small number of restaurants but Truro is close enough to Provincetown to enjoy its offerings. The National Seashore and Castle Hill Center for the Arts make Truro an attractive destination for those seeking natural beauty in a unique setting.
