Provincetown’s Beech Forest in the Cape Cod National Seashore (CCNS) is a national mecca for birders because it is a major resting stop for the semi-annual shore and seabird migrations along the East Coast flyway.

Provincetown’s geographical significance to this migration rests on the simple fact that it sticks forty miles out to sea. The birds know what the tourists need to know, there’s no place like Provincetown for a vacation.
