Ballston Beach Details
Bike or hike your way to this picturesque Truro beach, made famous in the paintings of Edward Hopper but reserved for residents and renters only. The waters here can be cool but are good for surfing and bodysurfing. During the "Perfect Storm" of 1991, the Atlantic Ocean breached the dunes here and flooded the nearby Pamet River with seawater.
