Learn more about Vacasa Premium Clean >Native Americans called the town Payomet, fishing off its picturesque shores for many generations. The Pilgrims landed here in 1620, finding plentiful fresh water and maize. The town was finally incorporated in 1709, becoming a shipbuilding center for a short time but thrived once farmers began cultivating crops such as asparagus and turnips. The railroad, built after the Civil War, brought summer tourists from Boston and they have never stopped returning since. Today, Truro remains a sleepy town most of the year but bursts at the seams come summer. You'll love it, too, thanks to our Truro vacation cottages.
Truro is all about the beach and with it occupying a bit of the Cape Cod National Seashore, you're never far from captivating dunes and crystal clear water. Several beaches lie within the confines of town. Ballston Beach rates highly for its decent waves and accessibility by bike. Corn Hill Beach is a family-friendly bay refuge with plentiful parking, gorgeous views, and warm water. Fisher Beach features calm waters and lots of space. Expert kayakers flock to Great Hollow Beach. The relative isolation of Longnook Beach makes it appealing to locals.
