Dunes of the Provincelands

The Dunes of the Provincelands are a unique and dynamic landscape located at the tip of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Formed by the glacial retreat and constant wind and wave action, this 3,500-acre protected area features towering sand dunes reaching heights of over 100 feet. The terrain is constantly shifting, with dunes, sloughs, and blowout depressions creating a dramatic and ever-changing environment. Vegetation is sparse, with hardy beach grasses and low shrubs clinging to the dunes. Wildlife is abundant, including diverse bird species, white-tailed deer, and the occasional coyote or fox.
