What Public Beaches on Cape Cod Allow Alcohol?

Question by Bob M: What public beaches on Cape Cod allow alcohol?
I’m considering an evening/night barbecue on the beach for a bachelor party. As you might expect there will be alcohol. While looking for fire permit information I started stumbling on to “no alcohol” rules for each beach I check. I hear that many beaches are routinely checked by police at night so I certainly don’t want to just “go for it” and get shut down.

Are there public beaches on Cape Cod that do allow alcohol? Which ones?

Thanks in advance!

None as far as I know. But enforcement is spotty.

Answer by Rexdale
Drinking in public is pretty much illegal everywhere. However, having spent extensive time on cape cod near provincetown, I cant imagine it being a problem. If I were to suggest a nice beach it would be on the ocean (as opposed to bay) side of North Truro. It is very unpopulated, being less known than Provincetown. I would say Head of the Meadow Beach or Long Nook Beach. Very awesome landscape too with high sand dune cliffs. No one should really bother you about alcohol, as it is somewhat desolate and dark at night. I think they are more concerned in provincetown where gay people litter up the beaches with condoms, or so ive read in an article
