Thirty miles of beach front, magnificent dunes and a stunning harbor are just a few reasons to travel to the outermost part of the Cape. Provincetown is also an artists haven, a historic and active seaport, and a shopping and dining paradise.
Most activities center around Commercial Street, known for its galleries and shops, Portuguese bakeries, and restaurants catering to a variety of tastes.
MacMillan Wharf, off Commercial Street,
is also a town focalpoint. Here, visitors can embark on a Whale Watching
cruise, take a charter tour, or at day's end, watch the fishermen return to the
Harbor with their fresh catch. (All highly recommended.)
Nearby, sun, swim, bike, hike and picnic at Race Point Beach and the Province Lands.
Of historical interest, visit the Provincetown Heritage Museum (featuring Pilgrim artifacts) and climb the Pilgrim Monument, the tallest granite structure in America.
Directions: Follow Route 6 from the Eastham/Orleans Rotary directly into Provincetown Center, or take Route 6 to Route 6A, a scenic ride paralleling Cape Cod Bay. When you enter town, look for the green parking signs, directly you to public lots (reasonable rates).
