Provincetown Mass for Couples

Located at the tip of Cape Cod, Provincetown Mass is perhaps, apart from Hyannis, the most famous town on the peninsula. It offer a quite unique experience to visitors, combining a bustling slice of ‘city life’ together with a side of a campy seaside village.

One of Provicetown's Many Beautiful Flower Gardens

Provincetown is one of our favorite towns on Cape, and we try to get there as often as possible, not only for the fabulous restaurants and people watching but also for its charm and diversity.

The summer brings throngs of vacationers from every walk of life, young families, gay and straight couples, singles and tour buses filled with retirees, so be prepared for the crowds.

Commercial Street runs through Provincetown and is lined with all types of restaurants from small cafes to top notch Italian and seafood restaurants, with art galleries and assorted boutiques sprinkled in between.

Keep on eye out for the beautiful flower gardens further along Commercial Street where you'll often see homeowners and B&B guests enjoying cocktails as they watch folks stroll by.

Same Sex Couples

It's no secret that Provincetown is a Mecca for gay people, both male and female, who come in their droves to vacation, to party, and to celebrate their lifestyle in a place where they know they will not be judged for it.

In fact, Provincetown has been voted the best Domestic Gay Resort Town for the last three years in a row by Planet Out.

Family week is a favorite time when pairs of moms or pairs of dads can be seen pushing strollers or heading to the beach with kids in tow. And the third week in August brings carnival, a raucous celebration of all that is gay. It's a lot of fun if you're of an open-minded disposition. If you're not, then you probably shouldn't come.

Active Couples

Another great thing about Province Lands, is that it takes you directly into the center of P-Town and automatically aleviates you of one of the biggest headaches associated with visiting the place, where to park your car.

Leave your car at one of the parking lots on the trail, either the Beech Forest lot or the one at the Province Land Visitors Center, and navigate through town by bike and on foot. Not only will you save a few bucks (parking is never cheap in P-Town, except perhaps on Tuesday afternoons in January), but you'll have a lot less hassle picking your way through streets that get pretty crowded during peak season.

Historical Couples

Ever since 1620, it seems, Provincetown has been fighting a losing battle in trying to correct the popular misconception that the Pilgrims first landed in the New World at Plymouth. It's not true, they came to Provincetown first, and even signed the Provincetown Covenant here.

You would think a 242 foot tall monument might serve as a fitting reminder to historians, and the public at large so the Pilgrim Monument and Provincetown Museum are there to set the record straight.
