Public Bathrooms
by emilienoelle
There are two places that you can find a public bathroom in Provincetown. One of them is in the town hall on Commercial Street, but this bathroom often has a long line, especially in the summertime. The other is at the entrance to the pier on Ryder Street. Just look for the place where all of the tour buses are parked and the bathroom will be right in front of it--or ask a bus driver. These bathrooms are much better. They are big, clean and staffed by full-time attendants.
Beauty and the Beach
by ambershimkus
While walking, you will see much diversity: that is the beauty of Provincetown. The best thing to do is be open-minded about the odd art (most of which is stunning), homosexuals holding hands (get used to it), and odd clothing.
Cape Cod National Seashore -...
by GeorgeJabin
Cape Cod National Seashore - See this park the only way it's meant to be seen. Rent a bike and ride the trails through the dunes. There are a number of bike shops in town that rent mountain bikes at reasonable prices. They will give you maps and directions to all of the dunes, ponds, observation posts and museums. Don't think you can fit the whole park into one day either. It spans about 30 miles, and should be taken in over the course of a couple of days.
Portuguese delights
by leffe3 about Portuguese Bakery
This place has been here for more than 100 years and is the cheapest place in town for breakfast and lunch. Standard breakfasts, interesting sandwiches for lunch. Great takeaways - pasteis de natas (custard cakes) included. Only problem here is that the smell of deep-frying dough can be very overpowering.
The Pier
by emilienoelle
Provincetown's pier is just off the main part of Commercial Street. Not only is it beautiful, and God it really is, but it's got a lot of things to do. From the pier you can charter a boat to take you fishing, book a whale watch or visit the town's Pirate Museum. The atmosphere of the pier provides for endless photo opportunities with its many boats and beautiful views of Cape Cod bay. If nothing else take a stroll down the pier just to look.
