Noons Landing
Truro, MA
Noons Landing is a Cape Cod Bay beach at 322 Shore Road (Route 6A) in North Truro. A small unpaved lot holds 16 cars and needs no beach sticker. There is no lifeguard, no restroom and no snack stand. Beach fires are allowed in limited numbers, and off-road vehicles are not. Bring what you need and plan to pack it out.
Free parking with no sticker and a quiet shore make it an easy stop, but there are no lifeguards or toilets and the lot is small.
How we score beachesBay beaches like this one drain far out at low tide, so check the tide chart first if you want water deep enough to swim in.
A small unpaved lot of about 16 spaces sits at the landing, and the town does not require a beach sticker here. Handicap parking is marked.
Handicap parking is available, but the beach itself is not considered accessible, so expect a walk over uneven ground to reach the sand.
Late July and August bring the warmest bay water. Cape Cod Bay stays calm on most mornings, and summer afternoon sea breezes can pick up.
