PROVINCE TOWN - Massachusetts - America

Provincetown is located at the tip of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, 116 miles from Boston. It's about 2 1/2 to 3 hours by car, depending on traffic. By air, it is only 20 minutes. The Bus takes longer or you can relax on the daily ferry (in season). Here you can experience a spectacular combination of New England charm, breathtaking Cape Cod beaches, rich history and seriously gay restaurants and lodgings. As you explore Provincetown, which some describe as the best lesbian and gay destination in the world, you can keep busy from dawn until midnight and beyond - taking in the sun rise, the beach, the dance floor, the gym, a whale watch, a massage, a tennis lesson or theatre, film, live entertainment and art. Or you can simply relax in the splendour of it all. With endless summer days and star-lit winter nights, great food, accommodations and shopping are available year round.

ACTIVITIES, BEACHES & MORE Provincetown has something for everyone. Do as much or as little as you like! Rent a boat and circle Long Point, or sign on to one of the world-famous whale-watching tours. Hike out past the famous, isolated dune shacks, where so many writers and artists have hunkered down to work. Like to bird watch? Spot the hundreds of species that make their homes here, or just stop by to visit seasonally. Pack a picnic and visit one of Provincetown’s water-lilied covered lakes. The Travel Channel has rated Provincetown’s beaches the sixth best in the country! Provincetown offers a wide variety of beaches, from Race Point’s dramatic sweep of tall dunes on the Atlantic Ocean to narrow Herring Cove, where ocean meets the bay. Don’t miss the beaches on Long Point—if you want a bit more seclusion from the summer hordes, trek across the breakwater and find a spot far removed from the crowds. It’s one of the most dramatic and beautiful walks you will ever take, crossing Provincetown Harbour on the gigantic rocks that prevent the fragile marshlands from being swallowed by the ocean.
