A Trip to Provincetown!
There’s something magical about the very tip of Cape Cod, where the land narrows, the ocean stretches endlessly, and Provincetown welcomes you with open arms. Known for its vibrant art scene, sandy dunes, and rich history as both a fishing village and a haven for creativity, Provincetown is the kind of place that feels both timeless and full of energy. From colorful storefronts along Commercial Street to sunsets over Race Point Beach, every corner offers a blend of charm and adventure. Here is a guide of everything P-town, the home of one of our seasonal Respoke boutiques!
Activities
Your first stop will likely be Commercial Street, and trust us—it won’t be your last. This bustling stretch is filled with one-of-a-kind galleries, cafés, and boutiques. Be sure to pop into Respoke to say hello!
For a dose of adventure, book a ride with Art’s Dune Tours through the sweeping dunes of the Cape Cod National Seashore. It’s a fun way to explore the area’s history, ecology, and natural beauty.
Don’t miss the Race Point Lighthouse, one of the Cape’s most iconic sights.
And of course, Provincetown’s nightlife is legendary—be sure to experience one of its incredible drag shows, a must while in town.
Looking to get out on the water? Join Dolphin Fleet for a whale-watching tour—you might just spot humpbacks, finbacks, or even the majestic blue whale.

Accommodations:
One of our favorite parts about Provincetown is that it stands on originality and one-and-onlys. You will rarely see chain-stores, hotels or restaurants, which is what gives Provincetown a lot of its charm.
The Red Inn is a classic in the Provincetown area, as it is a one-of-a-kind contemporary waterfront location. This place has some old charm with modern-day amenities.
The Inn at Cook Street is another P-town gem, located two minutes from the main strip. Stay close to the action while also having some peace and quiet.
The Ellery Hotel, also located a minute walk from Commercial Street, is known for its elegance along with its amenities, which include a steam room and sauna.
