I didn't spend a lot of time in Provincetown, but it doesn't take long to understand what the area is about. The drive into town is breathtaking with the towering dunes of Cape Cod National Seashore rising along Route 6. The town itself is very dense with historic buildings and small, narrow streets. Provincetown is filled with plenty of interesting shops and restaurants, and the harbor area is beautiful. My family went on a whale watching trip out of the harbor, and it was an absolutely great time that I definitely recommend to others. I'm not a boater, but it seemed like an incredible destination for boaters and fishermen.
The town is obviously a gay destination, so a visitor who has a problem being in that environment should be aware of that. However, if a person enjoys being in a unique environment with an eclectic crowd, Provincetown would have to grab your attention.
