Crow's Nest Resort

496 Rte. 6A, Truro, Massachusetts 02652, USA
Fodor's Choice

Why We Like It

Ideal for beach-lovers, families and groups of friends who want to be right on the water and perhaps save a bit of money by eating in. The fully outfitted kitchens (including a lobster pot!) make it easy to cook. The updated rooms are surprisingly large and boast a clean, beachy décor. Many travelers simply stock up on groceries and beverages and stay put to enjoy the beach.

Fodor's Expert Review

Amid the mostly run-of-the-mill motels and cottage compounds along Route 6A, this beautifully modernized all-suites beachfront property stands head-and-shoulders above the rest. Given the prime location, friendly service, and top-notch furnishings, this is one of the Outer Cape's best values for families and friends traveling together.

You Should Know Don’t let the word “resort” in the name fool you. This property is more like a time-share apartment complex (albeit a very nice one). There is no restaurant, bar, pool or gym.

Restaurants

The Lobster Pot (11-minutes) is a Provincetown favorite and is known for its chowders.

Bars

Lounge outside with a drink at the popular Patio American Grill & Cocktail Bar (11-minute drive), great for watching the world go by on Commercial Street. Another outdoor option is the AquaBar (13-minute drive), which overlooks the harbor and offers casual food and drinks with an unbeatable view.
