ABOUT PROVINCETOWN

No one forgets the first time they visit Provincetown. This town has got it all: narrow and vibrant streets with a truly cosmopolitan mix of people, restaurants and stores, the Harbor which is bustling with fishing boats and whale watches and over a-30-mile-long frontline of beaches and dunes for adventurous bike rides and romantic sunsets. Provincetown is where the Pilgrims first touched ground in 1620 and wrote America's first constitution, the "Mayflower Compact". Later, "P-town", as it is known today, was settled by early colonial settlers, and later, Portuguese immigrants, who came here in large numbers to work in the fishing industry.

Today Provincetown is a unique artist's colony. The thriving gay and lesbian community of Provincetown is a cornerstone of this town's vibrant culture. Many visitors to the Cape make a day trip to Provincetown to go on whale watch and to see the Pilgrim Monument; others show up after sunset for the nightlife. Day or night, Provincetown is a very popular destination for everybody. More on Provincetown...
