Thanks to its gorgeous beaches, endless energy and a well-deserved reputation for glamour and fun, Provincetown is the “It” destination, the best place in the country for a queer summer getaway.
So what kind of adventure are you on?
Maybe you’re planning a getaway with your squad this summer? A weekend? Or maybe a week of grunge, glam and everything in between. Bring on the glitz and glitter, because it’s so much a part of Provincetown life. If you’re eccentric and extravagant and flamboyant, then show the real you. Every day is Saturday in Provincetown, so bring your glamour to the non-stop party. Turn up the lux factor and treat yourself to a long weekend in Ptown. If you’re seeking curated experiences that cater to you and your squad, you’re in the right place.
Coming with your husband, your wife, your partner, your bestie? Couples love it here. Come as you are to the town that is open and accepting. Looking for the quieter time? Arrive in June, before the summer crowd arrives. Tea dance, parties, and entertainment happens every day after Memorial Day, so you won’t miss out on all the fun.
Perhaps you’re heading to the land of glitz and sand on a solo mission? This is where you’ll meet your match, because the very essence of Provincetown is about connecting with people like yourself. It’s why Provincetown has become the place to find people like us, at events that range from Single Women’s Weekend, Womxn of Color Weekend, Men of Color and Girl Splash to Bear Week, Pride Week, Fan Fare, and Carnival. All summer long, there is an event just waiting for you to show up.
Whether you’re coming with your friends, your true love or as a single, the sage advice is to start planning it early. Hotels are already beginning to fill up and people are booking longer stays. To welcome everybody, Provincetown’s hotels, restaurants and shops are opening earlier than ever this year.
If you’re looking for a charming inn with a white picket fence, a fabled guesthouse or an over the top hotel or resort where lux is queen, Ptown has more than 80 choices for lodging. Once you’re booked, it’s time to start daydreaming about sunny days on Herring Cove Beach or Race Point Beach. It’s the summer to explore the magical dunes of the Cape Cod National Seashore, or rent a bike and check out the Province Lands Bike Trail. Suntanned and happy strolling down Commercial Street later in the day, an eclectic collection of shops and more than 60 galleries await you. Head out for that obligatory sunset cocktail, opt to dine on seafood, Italian, or new American, and then to the theater, a concert, a drag show or a bar, before the nightlife begins.
Looking for beauty, togetherness and freedom? It’s all waiting for you, 60 miles out to sea at the tip of Cape Cod.
