Frequently Asked Questions
At MacMillan Pier, or at anchor in the bay with tender service depending on the ship’s size. Either way you land in the middle of everything: Commercial Street begins at the foot of the pier.
Yes. Commercial Street, narrow and pedestrian in practice if not in law, runs nearly five kilometres past galleries, shops and captains’ houses. The bicycle is the local transport of choice; only Race Point Beach needs a shuttle or taxi.
Pick one of two days: a whale watching trip from MacMillan Pier, or the climb up Pilgrim Monument followed by a long wander down Commercial Street. Fitting both into a short call is a stretch.
Yes, and it is one of the best departure points in the world for it. Boats leave MacMillan Pier several times a day for Stellwagen Bank, under an hour’s sailing away, where humpback, fin and minke whales feed all summer. Book early, especially in July and August.
A 77-metre granite tower raised in 1910 to mark the fact that the Mayflower anchored here in November 1620, before Plymouth, and that the Mayflower Compact was signed in this harbour. The climb uses ramps and stairs, is easy enough, and opens onto a full circular view; allow about an hour with the adjoining museum.
Yes, Race Point Beach in the Cape Cod National Seashore, a short shuttle or taxi from downtown. This is the Atlantic at full strength: surf, hard-packed sand and curious seals in the waves. Wind is frequent, so bring a jacket.
The light, reflected by the sea on three sides and by kilometres of dunes. The town is home to the oldest continuously active art colony in the United States, founded in 1899, and the art spills out of the galleries onto the fences.
Yes, and the town says so plainly: Provincetown is one of the great centres of the North American LGBTQ+ community, which gives Commercial Street its cheerful, relaxed energy. Everyone gets around their own way, on foot, by bike, sometimes in a feather boa.
The US dollar and English. Credit cards are accepted everywhere and restaurant tipping runs 15 to 20 percent.
June through September, when the whales are on Stellwagen Bank and the town is running at full tilt. It is also the busiest stretch: book activities before the call rather than on arrival.
