Provincetown (one hour by car)

An historic fishing port, Provincetown is situated at the tip of Cape Cod in an area of spectacular natural beauty, surrounded by miles of dunes and beaches.

The Pilgrims first landed in Provincetown in 1620, and signed the Mayflower Compact. Since that time, Provincetown has been home to sailors, pirates, fisherman, painters, and authors for centuries. In the 1800s Provincetown, with the largest and safest natural harbor on the New England coast, was one of the greatest and busiest sea ports in the country.

The diversity of the region along with its rich texture of cultural, period, and social influences has produced a sense of place that is uniquely its own. Provincetown attracts artists, tourists, and bohemians who blend in with the local population and produce the community's character.

Provincetown is truly like nowhere else.
