Things To Do
Stroll Commercial Street
Honestly, the best thing to do in ptown is simply wandering up and down Commercial Street. It runs along the waterfront is packed with great food, galleries, shops, ice cream spots, drag shows, street performers, and nonstop people-watching — all in one long, lively stretch. Grab a drink, walk without a plan, and just enjoy! If you get tired of walking, snag a pedicab ride - they're everywhere.
Rent a bike and hit the bike trails
Rent a bike in town (lots of places for this, just find the one closest to where you're staying) and head into the Province Lands — miles of winding paved bike trails through stunning dunes, pine forests, and beautiful ocean views that feel almost otherworldly. Absolutely worth the time!
Rent a boat or take the boat shuttle to the point
Flyer's Boat Rentals offers a wide range easy boat rental options - kayaks, power boats, sail boats, seal tours and the highly recommended Long Point Shuttle!
Brunch at Liz's
Best brunch in town by far - Liz's Cafe. 9-year old Tacita would grab breakfast here on her way to work at the barn every morning. Today, it's our favorite spot for brunch - highly recommend the Bloody Mary's!
Dinner at Sal's (complete other side of town from Ciro and Sal's)
BEST DINNER IN TOWN! Sal's - right next door to our place! - is a Provincetown institution — amazing food, waterfront magic, and laid-back chaos in the best way. Great food, drinks, and moon rise views. It fills up quickly, so you'll want to call ahead for reservations - and note: it's cash only.
Hike the Breakwater
Walk across the harbor on the iconic stone breakwater toward the lighthouse — a stunning walk with sweeping views of the harbor, the marshes, and back toward town. About a 2–3 mile round trip, best done at low tide with sturdy shoes and a little sense of exploration.
Lunch at The Crown & Anchor
Best people watching and eating - right in the center of town. We've never needed a reservation or had to wait. Highly recommend for the people watching alone.
Lunch and Frozen Drinks at The Canteen
When you just want easy food, a frozen drink, and zero formality, head to The Canteen. Order at the counter, then wander out back to eat by the water at picnic tables with harbor views. It’s an ideal mid-day stop after the beach — easy, social, and very much part of the classic P-town rhythm.
Dinner at Ciro & Sal's
Eat dinner where the proposal happened :) It's one of Ptown's best - truly beautiful and unique space with absurdly good food and drinks.
