Introduction

Provincetown sits at the very tip of Cape Cod, a sandy spit where the Mayflower pilgrims first anchored in 1620 before moving on. Over the 20th century it grew into a famed art colony and an LGBTQ+ haven, its compact Commercial Street lined with galleries, theaters and guesthouses. Surrounded by the Cape Cod National Seashore, it offers dune beaches, whale-watching fleets and a famously tolerant, artistic spirit. A place where maritime history, bohemia and the open Atlantic meet at land's end.
