Description

This oceanside treasure is located in the town of Truro, off of the winding North Pamet Rd. Ballston is a great place to go for rolling hills, great sand, and a good surf. The beach is popular with surfers and bodysurfers as there are usually enough waves here to enjoy the sports, but they're not too big, so even beginners can participate. The surf is also pretty good for swimming out a bit, as the water is refreshingly cool and offers a nice respite from the hot summer weather. Thanks to its semi-secluded location, Ballston is usually never too crowded, and although parking is reserved for local homeowners or renters, you can easily access the beach by biking or walking in.
