Provincetown

Provincetown occupies a narrow sandy hook at the outer tip of Cape Cod, between Provincetown Harbor and the Atlantic Ocean, in Massachusetts. The harbor was where the Mayflower anchored in November 1620; before sailing on to Plymouth, the Pilgrims signed the Mayflower Compact aboard ship. Pilgrim Monument, completed in 1910 to commemorate that first landing, rises above Commercial Street, the town’s principal waterfront thoroughfare. Provincetown has also been an important American art colony since the early 20th century and is widely known for its LGBTQ+ community. Dunes, beaches and the protected lands of Cape Cod National Seashore surround its compact year-round center.
