BEACHES • Herring Cove Beach in the Cape Cod National Seashore actually comprises several beaches. Turn right at the guard shack after you pay for admission for kid- and disabled-friendly beach access. (FYI, it’s free after 5:00 for sunset watching: this is one of the few places in the East where you see the sun set into the water). Turn left at the guard shack and you’ll find: – A concession stand run by
Far Land Provisions: get some food and hang out on the benches or take it out on the sand with you. There are also showers and changing rooms here. Far Land On The Beach: Beer and wine are now available, as well as an assortment of signature snacks and sandwiches. And don’t miss the Sunset Music Series on Sundays and Wednesdays at 6:30 pm (6:00 in August), with free admission to listen to great local music (Zoe Lewis, the Rip-it-Ups, Chandler Travis and more). Come sit by the bonfire, enjoy a drink and a light dinner, and watch the sun go down. Cash only for your provisions, please – Women’s beach: At the end of the parking lot is a path leading down to the water. The name is a misnomer: this is really an everyonefriendly beach. – Boys’ beach: You can go pastway pastthe women’s beach and you’ll find it. Alternately, cycle out, park your bike with all the others across from the Moors, and take the path in. Either way, it’s a hike. Clothing is required on all National
Seashore land, but the rule is often ignored here. • Race Point Beach is also in the Seashore, located past the airport on Race Point Road. This is a particularly family-friendly beach. If you have a four-wheel drive vehicle and want to get a permit to drive in the dunes, this is where you’ll be able to do that. – A food truck run by Far Land Provisions is newly available and will primarily be stationed this summer at Race Point Beach. •T own beaches: You can access the town beaches on either side of MacMillan Pier or through labeled access points strategically placed throughout town. This is a great way to take a little break from a long day of shopping or sightseeing in the town. •L ong Point Beach: You can’t drive to this beach: it’s an adventure to get here! You can either walk across the breakwater on the West End of town or you can take a water taxi (see Flyer’s Boat Rentals) across Provincetown Harbor. Since it is harder to get to, it is a quieter, more
secluded beach that offers a wonderful view of town and has its own lovely lighthouse. •H atches Harbor Beach: If you want to visit a more marshy, grassy part of town, Hatches Harbor (and the walk there) is the right place for you! Park just past Herring Cove and walk along the fire road through the salt marsh. It’s a very photogenic area so be sure to take your camera! • Great white sharks are now regularly sighted off Outer Cape beaches, so use common sense. Don’t swim anywhere near sealsthey aren’t cute and cuddly themselves, and they’re the ones attracting the sharks. ptownie’s guide to provincetown | summer 2019 | page 17 See Provincetown Harbor from the deck of the BAY LADY II See the sights! 3 trips daily 2 hour sailings on 73 ft Schooner Throw a party! 41 person capacity comfortable Sunset Sails!

A limited number of permits is available every day, so be in line when they open their doors at 9:00am (you can try calling, but they take in-person reservations before opening up the phone lines). You can apply for your permit up to three days in advance, and pick it up by 3:30pm on the day you’ll use it. You must bring your own wood (buy it at Stop & Shop or Cumberland Farms on Shank Painter Rd.) and observe commonsense safety precautions.

Summer workshops are also offered at the Castle Hill Center for the Arts in Truro. • That tower you can see coming into Ptown? That’s the Pilgrim Monument, and along with the Provincetown Museum it’s located up on High Pole Hill; you really should spend half a day up there. Climb to the top of the Monument for stunning views of Cape Cod and beyond, and visit the museum that keeps Ptown’s history alive. The Whydah Museum (colloquially known as the Pirate Museum), right next to the ferry landing on MacMillan Pier, looks pretty hokey, but it’s well worth a visitit contains artifacts from the pirate ship Whydah that sank off Ptown in 1717, as well as lots of general information around pirating.

In addition, there’s Michael Perry Massage, Marilyn Massad Massage, and Ptown Massage and Bodywork. Jay Foley at Namaste Spa is a ptownie staff favorite. HOW ABOUT DANCING IN THE AFTERNOON? You absolutely need to go to Tea Dance at the Boatslip at least once while you’re here. Tea is the last
beverage served at this famous outdoor dance party, where you can limber up for your evening or meet someone new to spend it with. It’s every day at 4pm, with frequent special themed dances. ptownie’s guide to provincetown | summer 2019 | page 23 When the sun goes down SPORTS (WHERE TO WATCH) ENTERTAINMENT Summer’s a great time for a beer and a game! And we have a number of places where you can enjoy them both. At the 1620 Brewhouse on Commercial Street, there isn’t a bad seat, with plenty of TV screens to choose from. You can also watch sports at the Squealing Pig, the Governor Bradford, the Pilgrim House, and the Wave Bar. For something a little (or a lot!) different from classic theatre, the Art House, the Crown & Anchor, the Pilgrim House (home to Miss Richfield 1981), and the Post Office Cabaret all offer a season filled with Broadway performers, comedians, and drag acts. Check out their individual websites for specifics. ADULT BEVERAGES Did you know that
Ptown has its own brewery and ciderworks? Provincetown Brewing Company (PBC) Tap room and brews officially roll out in summer 2019. Every PBC product highlights a cause or organization, from LGBTQ+ rights to conservation and more. Charities will receive a percentage of sales from each product sold. Owner Chris Hartley previously worked at Turtle Swamp Brewing. They’re located at 141 Bradford Street in the space formerly occupied by the health-food store and online at provincetownbrewingco.com Shoal Hope (the name Bartholomew Gosnold first gave to the Cape) produces a number of ciders you can find at liquor stores and at many local restaurants. Buying ingredients for mixing your martinis at your rental? You’ll find that and more here: • Yardarm Liquors Tin Pan Alley, across from Town Hall, has become a local year-round favorite for live music.

AND FOR LATE-LATE NIGHT FUN Provincetown shuts down earlier than Boston or New York, so be aware that most bars close by 1:00. But you don’t have to turn in yet! Check out Spiritus Pizza for a late-night slice and check out everyone else who’s doing the same thing (you know they’ll be checking you out, too!) And if things just didn’t happen for you at the club or bar, you can head over to the Dick Dock along the beachfront under the Boatslip’s pool. • Pennie’s Wine & Spirits • Big Vin’s Liquors • Perry’s Wine & Liquors • Glass Half Full Drink & Smoke (they also carry fine cigars) ptownie’s guide to provincetown | summer 2019 | page 24 COMING IN 2019: - A KILLER CARNIVAL (AUGUST) - THE CHRISTMAS CORPSES

There seems to be something here for everyone! • Cape Tip Sportswear. High-performance sportswear and footwear for all seasons. The top 15 shopping destinations include: • Cuffy’s. A local chain of Cape Cod clothing, known for its durability. • Marine Specialties. Want a Soviet officer’s pin? A collection of seashells? A 50’s lunchbox? A wedding gown? You’ll find all this and more in this venerable eclectic jumble shop. Serious army-navy stuff in the back, too. • Womencrafts. Handmade gifts from local artisans, lesbian fiction, political stickers, clothing, and
more in this reimagined feminist shop. Owner Michelle is one of ptownie’s favorite people. • Utilities Home Store. This shop is chock-a-block full of things you never thought you’d need and now that you’ve seen, you can’t live without! Some of the coolest things in town. • Botanica. Gifts and delights for home and garden alike, with everything from vintage items to tiles and plants to pet-themed objects • Provincetown Bookshop. A local treasure since 1932, the shop is run by knowledgeable, caring staff who support local authors. There’s a great selection of books about the area as well as fiction that takes place on Cape Cod and even in Provincetown. • D.Flax Established in 1987, DFlax (named for the original owner) is the go-to place for many vacationers looking for Provincetown apparel. • HRC store. This is the Provincetown branch of the nonprofit Human Rights Campaign store, your one-stop for LGBTQ apparel and gifts. • Taqwa Glassworks. The studio is in
Whaler’s Wharf, but the glassworks can be found in galleries all over town. Glass sculpture, art, and architecture. • Roots. A home and garden shop with a full line of décor, gifts, tabletop accessories, original artwork, furniture, rugs, and lamps. • Puzzle Me This. That cool purple building on Commercial Street? It’s filled with even cooler toys, games, puzzles, and fun. • Shop Therapy. If you long for the sixties, this place is for you. This “alternative lifestyle emporium” carries everything from incense and jewelry to bells and tapestries. Upstairs is a head shop and sex-toy nirvana. In addition to these fine establishments, Ptown has two thrift shops, both of which we think are awesome. Because a substantial number of Provincetown residents are wealthy and/or artistic, these shops often offer exceptional items at bargain prices. • The United Methodist Church on Shank Painter Road. Known affectionately in town simply as “The Methodist,” this thrift shop
is open MondaySaturday from 10am to 2pm. Sales benefit a wide range of local nonprofit groups. The church also hosts a daily soup kitchen in the off-season as well as a number of 12-step meetings year-round. •R uthie’s Boutique on the corner of Center and Bradford Streets. Smaller than The Methodist but also beloved by the community, Ruthie’s often has special sales and events. Proceeds go to programs to help the homeless, women, and those with AIDS. The shop is open Tuesday-Saturday from 10am to 4pm. ptownie’s guide to provincetown | summer 2019 | page 30 3 4 7 C O M M E R C I A L S T. ptownie’s guide to provincetown | summer 2019 | page 31 PROVINCETOWNS CORNER MARKET Featuring Sandwiches, On Premise Bakery, Prepared Food including entrees, salads, and sides.

Visual arts are alive and well here in 2019, and Provincetown has over 200 galleries to browse. Most of them are located in the classical East End, but you’ll find them spread out all along Commercial Street, with many down intriguing side streets off Commercial. You’ll find that the person staffing the gallery is often one of its artists! Take in a little art with the Friday-night Gallery Stroll. Art galleries are located primarily on Commercial Street, but are also tucked away on side streets and spilling out onto Bradford Street, and there’s truly something paintings, glass, block prints, and statueshere for everyone. Enjoy something to eat and drink, and take a piece of Provincetown home with you to enjoy all
year long! You can go anytime, but Friday evenings are the most welcoming, and your best bet for meeting the artists.

Grilled Chicken with Spaghetti Squash & Brown Butter Gnocchi Michael Dreyer 508-246-8687 dreyerindemand@gmail.com ptownie’s guide to provincetown | summer 2019 | page 35 Ptown on a budget A lot of people think they can’t stay in Ptown because of the expense. And while you can spend a lot of money here, you don’t have to: choosing where to spend your money is the key to a budgetconscious stay. BUDGET STAYS • The least expensive option is camping. There are two campgrounds in Ptown, Coastal Acres and Dune’s Edge. • If you can live dormitory-style with a shared
kitchen, Ptown also has the Outermost Hostel. • Renting a condo for a week can be expensive, but if you’re sharing the cost with a group of friends, this might be your most cost-effective option (if you camp, you need to buy all that gear!). BUDGET EATS • Consider making lunch your main meal of the day and eat out then. The food will be just as good and far less expensive than it is at night. Get your food to go from Far Land Provisions, or Far Land At The Beach, and take it out to the beach with you. • If you’re renting a condo, head over to the Stop & Shop for ingredients and have fun practicing your cooking skills together instead of eating out. Also, this is a good time and place to experiment with pretty cocktails, rather than ordering more expensive versions at a bar! • Several restaurants offer reduced-price appetizers during Happy Hour from 4pm to 6pm, including Mac’s Fish House and Saki. • The Aquarium Mall used to besurprise, surprise!a real
aquarium, starring three Atlantic bottlenose dolphins. All that’s left now are the funhouse mirrors; but the vibe is still there, and you’ll find great cheap eats at all the takeout places in the arcade, starting with Connie’s Bakery and moving in to Big Daddy’s Burritos, ‘Tween the Tides, Fortune Cookie, I Dream of Gelato, Mangia Pizza, and Native Cape Cod Seafood. If everybody in your party isn’t in the mood for the same food, then this is the place to come! It’s all to-go, though there are a few picnic tables in the mall itself, and you can take your food out back and enjoy it with a cocktail (and a stunning view) at the outside Aqua Bar as well. • Ptown has two places offering affordable Mexican street food: Rosie’s Cantina (ptownie Readers Pick for Favorite New Thing in Provincetown 2018) is right in the town center, and Yolqueria is a little farther into the East End. Both are places where you can fill up without breaking the bank, and the food is amazing.
• Box Lunch is part of a small Outer Cape chain that has sandwiches, soups, and salads, with a nice selection of vegetarian and kid-friendly food. • Over on Shank Painter Rd., join the crowds that throng Chach at breakfast and lunch time. This is good, solid diner-type food that will fill you up and energize you for a day of sightseeing. • Across from Chach’s is a brightly painted shack housing delicious Jamaican take-out at Irie Eats, and if you plan to try it, go earlythey sell out quickly, and for good reason! • Finally, you can pick up food to go from Pop + Dutch or Relish, both in the West End (try Relish’s impossibly good gazpacho to cool down on a hot summer day!) and you’ll still have some cash for your suntan lotion. ptownie’s guide to provincetown | summer 2019 | page 36 BUDGET ACTIVITIES • The best entertainment in Provincetown is free: a saunter down Commercial Street to see and be seen. There are lots of other places to explore on foot: watch
the boats come in at MacMillan Pier, walk the length of Ptown on the beach, explore the nooks and crannies of the side streets. • Renting a bicycle is inexpensive and opens up lots of possibilities. The bike path through the National Seashore on the Province Lands Bike Trail is a solid workout. Or just park your bike at Beech Forest and have a wander around the pond. You have to pay to enter the beaches, but they’re free after 5pm, so bring a picnic and some wine (or buy food at Far Land On The Beach at Herring Cove) and watch the sunset! S peaking of the beach, if you’re over 62 you can buy a pass that will give you free access to every national park in the US for the rest of your life! See the ranger at Herring Cove Beach or Race Point Beach for details. • The Provincetown Public Library is free and has activities going on all summer. Plus it’s a museum in and of itself, with paintings, the Lipton Cup, and an impressive model of the Rose Dorothea. • There are
swimming pools that are free and open to the public: Harbor Hotel, Boatslip, Provincetown Inn, and Crown & Anchor. • As seen elsewhere in this guide, for a modest $20 you can spend 50 minutes taking a narrated tour through town and up to the Seashore on the Mayflower Trolley, one of the best deals in town. You’ll impress everyone with what you learn! • If you’re over 62, you can access many services via the Provincetown Council on Aging including using their gym for free workouts! BUDGET NIGHTS • For the price of a drink and a tip, you can enjoy live music at Tin Pan Alley or a sing-along at the Crown and Anchor lounge. • Drag karaoke, anyone? ptownie’s guide to provincetown | summer 2018 | page 37 Staying with kids FUN • Ptown has two public playgrounds, the Chelsea Earnest Memorial Playground at the intersection of Bradford St. and West Vine St and the East End Playground at the intersection of Bradford St. and Howland St. • If your friend jumped off
a pier, would you do it, too? Jumping off Macmillan Pier into the harbor is actually quite fun and a popular activity! • The town puts on a variety of children’s programs year-round; an updated list can be found on its website. • Do your kids love to pop wheelies and do tricks on their skateboards? The Provincetown Skate Park (at the intersection of Jerome Smith and Shank Painter Rd.) could be the perfect place for them to hang out and socialize. • There are fun things to find in all the stores in Ptown, but kids might especially be enchanted by Puzzle Me This, The Penney Patch, Sidekicks Travel and Marine Specialties. • Don’t forget ice cream! There are lots of ice cream shops in Provincetown with such a variety of flavors you will find something for even the pickiest of eaters. Try Lewis Brother’s Homemade Ice Cream, the Nut House, the Purple Feather (for gelato), Ptown Scoop, Bliss, Twisted Pizza and Ice Cream, and Ben & Jerry’s. EDUCATIONAL FUN • For you
adventurous families, spend the day out on the water learning to sail with West End Racing Children’s Community Sailing. For aspiring marine scientists, sign up for Whale Camp with the Center for Coastal Studies. It’s a three-day program during July and August where you learn about local whales and disentanglement, and do art activities. • The Province Lands Visitor’s Center is a great educational resource all about the life and physiology of the local beaches and estuaries. It has a rotating theater, showing five short films every day, and a bookstore where you can buy field guides. • PAAM runs Children’s Art Adventures weekly throughout the summer for kids age 5+ where they are encouraged to explore different media to create art inspired by the world around them. • The Provincetown Public Library also offers fantastic events for children of various ages! • The Payomet Performing Arts Center puts on special children’s theatre productions for our younger
visitors! • The Provincetown Bookshop has a nice collection of children’s books, especially Cape Cod, feminist, and LGBTQ-friendly titles for kids, as does Womencrafts. Note that not every Provincetown inn or bedand-breakfast is kid-friendly, and many smaller establishments prefer not to cater to children at all. They’re filled with delicate antiques and their primary clientèle may be here to party, so don’t be offended. Choose instead a hotelthe Provincetown Inn, the Harbor Hotel, Seaglass Inn, and the Surfside all will cheerfully accommodate children, as will places in Truro and Wellfleet. ptownie’s guide to provincetown | summer 2019 | page 38 Hanging out with your best friend (dogs) In case you haven’t noticed, Provincetown is definitely going to the dogs! You don’t want to leave part of your family home for vacation, and when traveling to Ptown, you don’t have to: Ptown loves your dogs almost as much as you do! TRANSPORTATION • Bay State Cruise Company
and Boston Harbor Cruises both allow dogs on board as long as they are leashed. • Cape Air will let you fly if your dog is crated. • The Plymouth & Brockton Street Railway Company allows service dogs on their buses. FUN •T he Pilgrim Bark Park is a one-acre dog park filled with local art, water fountains, and happy dogs. The park even has a separate section for your extra small friends (25 pounds and under). • Want to go on an ocean adventure? The Dolphin Fleet, Dog Gone Sailing Charters, and SeaSalt Charters are all dog-friendly cruises. • If you want to go shopping for your pet, check out: – Paws & Whiskers, 304 Commercial St. – Friends of Heart, 301 Commercial St. WALKING • There are so many places for you and your dog to go on nice walks together! As long as they remain on a leash, you can go through a lot of the Cape Cod National Seashore (freshwater ponds, fire roads, beaches without life guards, and other trails on certain dates). Just steer
clear of areas that explicitly state no dogs, or have nesting shorebirds. Town beaches allow unleashed playtime between six and nine (morning and night) as long as you clean up your furry friend’s “buried treasures” (you can find bags for this along the beaches). Amenities: • Safety first! If you suddenly need to go to the veterinarian while in town, head over to: – Herring Cove Animal Hospital 83 Shank Painter Rd. – Provincetown Animal Hospital 9 Center St. • If you want to adopt a dog, head on over to the CASAS (Carrie A. Seaman Animal Shelter) to find your new best friend! • If you don’t want to leave your best pal alone while you go out to eat, call ahead and ask if the restaurant has outdoor seating where they will permit dogs. Massachusetts law forbids dogs from eating with you indoors, but several restaurants with outdoor seating don’t mind your best friend joining you: – Bubala’s –Crown & Anchor – Patio ptownie’s guide to
