Provincetown
Gay Friendly Rating:
Very welcoming; this place is gay-tastic!
A quaint fishing village turned artsy LGBT haven, Cape Cod's Provincetown is the quintessential small-town capital of Gay USA.
Provincetown Fast Facts:
- Gayborhood Um, all of Provincetown is a bustling, rainbow and taffy-filled gay neighborhood. If Disney's Main Street USA turned queer, it'd look like Commerical Street.
- If you're looking for more privacy, or you'd prefer a place with a kitchen, forget the hotels and guesthouses and rent someone's apartment or house instead. Check out Harborside Realty at 800-838-4005, or visit .
- Planning to hit tea dance every day at The Boatslip? Buy a weekly or monthly pass and you'll save on the cover charge.
- Looking for some carry-out lunch to take to the beach? Duck into the General Store at 147 Commercial Street. They're open early in the morning, and their deli sandwiches and baked goods can't be beat.
- If you're walking to the beach at Herring Cove, or parking your bike by the bikestand, check the daily tide charts in the local paper. At high tide, you'll be walking through tidal pools that are sometimes waist-deep to get to the beach; at low tide, it's an easier walk over dry sand.
This coastal gem is one that can't go unnoticed; nominated for "Best U.S. Destination" in the 2009 Gay Travel Awards.
