AROUND CAPE COD
Truro
Truro is narrow, stretching only a few miles from its eastern shoreline on the Atlantic Ocean to its western coast on Cape Cod Bay. Condos and cottages along Shore Road, expansive modern homes, and a good share of traditional Capes are among the real estate choices in Truro. The town offers laid-back privacy and pastoral charm, but is also home to the popular Truro Vineyards winery and its new South Hollow Spirits distillery. Also in town is the renowned Truro Center for the Arts at Castle Hill and the Payomet Performing Arts Center, situated at the Highlands Center, which offers seasonal live performances from nationally known talent.
Positioned nearly at the end of the peninsula, Truro is the least populated town on Cape Cod. Homeowners here are treated to dramatic natural beauty throughout the seasons, with sandy cliffs that overlook wild ocean beaches, kettle ponds, the Pamet and Little Pamet rivers, salt marshes, and dense oak forests. Much of Truro is part of the Cape Cod National Seashore, including the Highlands Center trail, which is the site of the former North Truro Air Force Station and the Highland Light Station, also known as Cape Cod Light—the oldest working lighthouse on the Cape.
