Pilgrims' First Landing Park in Provincetown, Massachusetts is an easy 0.1-mile out-and-back walk that leads to a tiny cul-de-sac park that features a plaque dedicated to the first location that the pilgrims originally landed in the "New World".
This is not a hike, but rather a quick mostly-flat paved walk that leads to a viewing platform and plaque within the park. From the park, visitors get a nice view of Cape Cod Bay, Long Point Light Station and Wood End Lighthouse.
The plaque reads: "The first landing place of the Pilgrims. Nov 11, 1620. O.S. The map in the mourts relation shows that near this spot the pilgrims first touched foot on American soil. Erected by the Research Club of Provincetown 1917."
Parking
Visitors will find parking located around the park's cul-de-sac. There's enough space for over a dozen cars with additional paid street parking nearby.
Pets
Dogs are allowed only if leashed and must be cleaned up after.

MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.
It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.
Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) 😎👍. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free 🎉
Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!️
