Hotel

Harbor Hotel

The Harbor Hotel is a nice option in the East End of Provincetown. It is located on the corner of Commercial Street and Snail Road. It is near the water and has an outdoor pool. It costs about $250 a night for a standard room with the 10% group discount. The discount code is active from 9/4-9/11. Although nothing is far in Provincetown, it is the farthest lodging to downtown that we have listed here (it is about 1.5 miles to downtown).

Cape Colony Inn

The Cape Colony Inn is another nice option located on Bradford Street one mile from downtown Provincetown. The Cape Colony has an outdoor pool and is not directly on the water but is very close to the beach. With some searching around ourselves, it appears to be one of the least expensive lodging options with rooms starting at $140/night

Fast Ferry from Boston to Provincetown

A great option to get from Boston to Provincetown is the fast ferry! There are two companies that operate an hour and a half long trip directly to Provincetown. Boston Harbor Cruises and Bay State Cruises cost $108 and $92 respectively. The Massport Route 66 Shuttle Bus provides free shuttle service to the Logan Dock and all airport terminals. From the Logan Dock you can take the Harbor Express Boat Shuttle to Long Wharf where the Fast Ferry will depart. Make sure to book your ferry tickets when you book your plane tickets, because the ferries have a set schedule and limited availability.

Flight

Cape Air

Believe it or not, Provincetown has its own little airport in the dunes! For those who want a quick, no-hassle option to get from Boston to Provincetown, Cape Air has flights for around $200 each way.

Rental Car

Enterprise Rent-A-Car

If you wish to drive from Boston to Provincetown it will take approximately 2 hours without traffic. A rental car is convenient for most people especially those traveling with kids but once you are in Provincetown a car is not necessary to get around town or to get to the wedding venue. Therefore, if you wanted to take a bus, fly, or take the fast ferry from Boston to Provincetown it may be a quicker and cheaper option. There is an Enterprise car rental office at the Provincetown Airport and another one 30 minutes away in Orleans but they are quite small so make sure you call ahead if you are planning on renting locally.

Peter Pan Bus

The bus is the cheapest option to get from Boston to Provincetown. Peter Pan operates a route that costs around $25 one way and takes an average of 4 hours.
