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 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!
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Eat dinner where the proposal happened :) It's one of Ptown's best - truly beautiful and unique space with absurdly good food and drinks.
