TRURO: Known geographically as the "wrist" of Cape Cod, Truro occupies about 14 often very narrow miles along the Cape's "forearm" just south of Provincetown. While driving through, you might want to leave Rte 6 and pick up Rte 6A, which terminates in Orleans and reappears again in Truro. 6A will take you right through to Commercial St. in Provincetown, hugging Cape Cod Bay. Hilly, with an abundance of wide open spaces in the National Seashore, Truro offers spectacular scenery with few people in sight.
PROVINCETOWN: You'll know when you've almost reached Provincetown when your car becomes completely surrounded by magnificent sand dunes looming on either side of the road. Within a few minutes, you will come to one of the truly unique places on Cape Cod or on earth, for that matter. This is where the Pilgrims actually first landed (sorry, Plymouth Rock!). With a historically rich backdrop of old buildings and narrow streets, today's "P'town" is a village filled with fun, eclectic groups of tourists and residents basking in the brilliant light reflected from the surrounding ocean. What a place for people-watching!
