At first glance, the quiet simplicity of North Truro may lead you to believe there's not much happening in this seaside town. However, when you stay at a North Truro vacation rental you'll soon discover a vibrant, coastal community which draws in visitors to this part of Cape Cod. North Truro is a village within the town of Truro, consisting of quaint homes and small resort facilities. This picturesque vacation destination is surrounded by prehistoric rock formations and sandy cliffs, as well as unspoiled beaches. It's no wonder the population of Truro grows from 2,000 year round to nearly 20,000 in the summer.
For a fascinating journey back into the past, visit the Truro Historical Society Museum – a chronicle of this region throughout the ages. It's filled with many unique artefacts and it even offers a history-themed scavenger hunt for young visitors, making the experience more interactive and educational. During your visit, you can also visit the Payomet Performing Arts Center, a concert venue with stunning views of the ocean, located within a semi-permanent tent within a decommissioned Air Force Base. Check to see which bands will be rocking out at the tent during your visit.
If your ideal vacation involves working on your golf swing, you'll want to visit the Highland Links Golf Course, the oldest links course in Massachusetts. This scenic course runs along the rugged highland cliffs of the Atlantic coast. Wine lovers will be delighted by the Truro Vineyards of Cape Cod, located on Shore Road in North Truro. Sit outside in a comfy Adirondack chair and sip some of the locally made wines, paired with yummy gourmet nibbles. Then, head to the stunning beaches at Head of the Meadow – where you will be likely to spot seals lounging on the sand bars at low tide.
