ProvincetownWelcome to the official Town Of Provincetown Visitor's Website. An historic fishing port, Provincetown is situated at the tip of Cape Cod in an area of spectacular natural beauty, surrounded by miles of dunes and beaches. Provincetown has a diverse and singular history. The Pilgrims first landed in Provincetown in 1620, and signed the Mayflower Compact, a declaration of self-determination and radical thought that characterizes the history and people of Provincetown, even today. Provincetown has been home to sailors, pirates, fisherman, painters, and authors for centuries.

In the 1800s Provincetown, with the largest and safest natural harbor on the New England coast, was one of the greatest and busiest sea ports in the country. The rich texture of cultural, period, and social influences has produced a sense of place that is uniquely Provincetown. These special qualities have, for over a century, attracted the artists, tourists, and bohemians that have blended with the local population and produced the community's character. Provincetown is truly like nowhere else.

This site was developed and is maintained by the Provincetown Visitor Services Board (VSB) whose mission is to market, beautify, and enhance tourism in Provincetown. The VSB has constructed this website to provide a central location for visitors to research all the wonderful options available when visiting Provincetown.
