Things to do in Provincetown, MA

Boats docked in the water on a cloudy day in Provincetown

Beaches: Hang out at Race Point Beach all day and possibly see some whales! Later in the day, drive down the road to Herring Cove Beach to catch a beautiful sunset.

Shopping: Walking up and down Commercial Street, you'll experience the real uniqueness of Provincetown. Stop into any of the amazing little shops, buy some souvenirs or make reservations for a drag show later that night.

Dune Tours: Check out Art's Dune Tours and jump into his Suburban to go explore the dunes of Provincetown. Upgrade your trip to include a sunset tour or a clambake.

Art Galleries: Head towards the east end of Provincetown to check out the galleries. Stop into the Provincetown Art Association and Museum.

Bar-Hopping: One of the easiest things to do in Provincetown. Lots of restaurants have outside seating so you can continue to people watch as you enjoy a gin and tonic.

Sit Outside Town Hall: Grab a bench right outside of Town Hall and watch everyone go by. You're sure to be entertained. You may also see some street performers as this is a popular spot for them in the summer months.

Whale Watches: Head down MacMillan Pier to reserve your whale watch tickets. The last few years have been really busy on the Cape!

Boat Rentals: Continue towards the Coast Guard station at the west end of Commercial Street until you come to Flyer's Boat Rentals. Ask for a Pontoon boat to explore the bay and anchor over by Long Point Lighthouse for a few hours!

The Canteen: Amazing, casual food. Make sure you order inside and then continue along the side of the building to outdoor seating in the back.

Ross' Grille: Wonderful, unique food with great specials. Ask for reservations at the bar if you want to hear lots of information about the wines!

The Lobster Pot: A Provincetown staple. Try the Clam Chowder and ask to sit on the second level for the best view.

Mac's Fish House: Off the beaten path, but worth it. Great seafood selection and kid-friendly.

Bayside Betsy's: Try the mudslides if you go! Great breakfasts and good service.

Bubala's by the Bay: Lots of outdoor seating and an eclectic menu. Right on Commercial Street for good people watching.

JD's: Great view overlooking Commercial Street if you can snag a few seats along the ledge.

Spiritus Pizza: A Provincetown legend. Huge pizza slices — especially popular when the bars let out, around 2am.
