High Head Beach in Truro with dunes and Outer Cape light

Truro · Outer Cape

eloping at High Head Beach

High Head Beach is wild, spacious, and beautifully Outer Cape - dunes, ocean air, and a feeling of being far away in the best possible way.

ask about this spot

the feel

i love High Head for couples who want a less polished, more elemental Cape Cod backdrop. the landscape has texture everywhere: sand paths, beach grass, high dunes, and big sky. it makes elopement photos feel honest and a little adventurous, especially if you are happy to walk and let the wind be part of it.

best timing

soft morning light or golden hour both work, depending on the season and access. this is a place where comfort matters, so i plan footwear, timing, and photo locations in a way that keeps the day fun instead of fussy.
