For those seeking ultimate privacy, the park has approved ceremonies in the ORV, or off-road vehicle corridor. Nauset Lighthouse in Eastham is also a popular spot to tie the knot. Trudeau says Marconi Beach in Wellfleet, Race Point Beach and Herring Cove Beach in Provincetown and Coast Guard Beach in Eastham are among the top picks.

The top picks for wedding ceremonies sites are not surprising. When approving event locations, park management strives to strike a balance between the success of your event and unhindered access for visitors to the park. Events are not permitted at the Old Harbor Lifesaving Station in Provincetown, but they are permitted at the Province Lands Visitor Center.

Trudeau said the most popular requests are for beaches and lighthouses. Some locations are restricted based on event size and availability. This process is designed to "ensure the protection of the park and the safety of the public," Trudeau says.įuture brides and grooms are welcomed to submit an application for any public access location within park limits. Each application is reviewed individually and requests are permitted on a case-by-case basis, according to Katie Trudeau, the Cape Cod National Seashore's Concessions Management Specialist. The application fee is $50, and typically the only fee associated with hosting a wedding at the park. If you are considering a location at the Cape Cod National Seashore, you need only apply through their special-use permit and concessions management department.

In addition to sunbathing, swimming, biking, and hiking, the natural, unspoiled beauty of the park is available for couples in search of a sensational ceremony spot. Within that vast park are trails, beaches, dunes and landmarks including lighthouses-all the backdrop for beautiful vacation and wedding memories. The Cape's own national park encompasses over 43,000 acres of woodland, dunes and shoreline. For many, it is the Cape Cod National Seashore ( CCNS ). It might be a beach, an historic site or a well known (maybe even secluded) landmark. Everyone who visits Cape Cod has a favorite place.
