This is a beautiful wooded walk from Route 6 throughout the conservation land surrounding Clapps Pond. You can access the trail head from Route 6 East. You may see a few cars aside Route 6 near the trail head and the trail head is marked with signs. Clapps Pond is a great place to bring your dog for a long run when visiting Provincetown.
Accessible at the end of Commercial Street by the Provincetown Inn, you can walk the breakwater to the sandbar at the end which leads to Long Point. This walk may look short, but it is deceptive. The trip to Long Point is a very, very long walk. Be prepared! Bring bottled water and on sunny days, be sure to wear light clothing and protection from the sun. The beach on the ocean side of the sandbar is one of the most magnificent in Provincetown. This beach is very flat, has very smooth sand and offers an extremely gradual grade into the water. You can walk out hundreds of feet and still only be waist deep in the water. On a beautiful sunny day, the trip to Long Point can be a wonderful trip and good exercise. If you get tired, when you get to Long Point (during the summer months) you can catch the Flyer's Boat Shuttle which can take you back to the wharf in town or to Flyer's Boat Rental's just off Commercial Street.
Enjoy cutting through the many waterways of Provincetown. Explore the hidden coves of the salt marshes, the vast shores of Cape Cod bay, or the abounding waves of the great atlantic.
