Great place to park along the north county trail. Great for biking. Pretty level as it was converted from rail path and paved with asphalt. Watch for the bumps and ruts caused by frost heaves and tree roots. Shaded and pleasant but the leaves in the fall hide the hazards.

Boy beach is the worst kept secret in Provincetown. It is a beach accessible only by a 1 mile hike through a salt marsh. Your reward is a beautiful stretch of beach with relaxed patrols and rules. Mainly a clothing optional spot for LGBT to sun, swim and play. Enter at the Boy Beach Bike rack on 6A and follow the crowd. You should see a couple hundred bicycles with the entrance to the marsh in the middle or a longer walk from Herring Cove. The hike is about 30 minutes and you need to bring everything with you as there are no amenities. Rangers occasionally patrol and you’ll need to put on a suit. The dunes have some more intImate activity for those inclined. Watch the tide as the hike can get wet.

A nice paved path around the outside of the reservoir and a dirt path through middle. Good for biking or relaxing to escape the city even though surrounded by highways and cemeteries. There is a small parking spot across the street that fills up on the weekends with ball games and barbecues. Highland Park during the week is very quiet spot to enjoy being outdoors and away from traffic. An oasis hidden the bustling city blocked by trees and cemeteries. Not too many amenities or services short of going down out to the urban setting of Jamaica avenue down the hill. Bring some food and beverages and have a picnic. I enjoy biking out and getting some quiet time enjoying a shady rest

Small spot for ice cream cone, sandwich, drinks or coffee. Each is an outpost of a full service restaurant. Reduced selections and options.

A few benches at the end of a dead end on a hill by the airport. Nice shade and benches under some trees to cool off
