The gift shop had a great selection of items to choose from and we picked up a lovely print. Tickets were $10 per adult. The tour takes you to the top of the lighthouse which requires a lot of climbing and fitting into narrow spaces. Our tour guide Ken was the best! He helped to enhance our experience with his knowledge of the lighthouse and the historical information shared. He was also very conscious of our safety and made me feel at ease despite how narrow some of the climbing areas got. He was happy to chat with us and answered any questions we had. Highland lighthouse is the oldest and tallest lighthouse on Cape Cod. The views are absolutely worth the climb, as well as all of the historical background. Well worth the $10. Happy we made it in time for the last tour of the day. It was a one of a kind experience.

It is a short walk from the main (in season paid) lot at Nauset Beach but I parked in one of the 2 spaces on the side of the road at the site. There are actually 3 parking spaces at The Three Sisters. One is accessible. There is an informational sign at the site telling about how "Three Sisters Lit the Way". This has great information but read more details online. You can see why these are on the register of historic places. Don't be surprised 2 of them don't have a light any longer.

There's a small park and some picnic tables as well as a sign about the history of the lighthouses that, unfortunately, seemed kind of weathered. We made a stop here because we'd never seen it, out of town friends mentioned it to us as interesting and, well, we were running out of outdoor places to explore during COVID. We then took a walk on the beach. Cute if you're a lighthouse enthusiast or you want to do something outdoors as well like walk the beach, but I wouldn't make a special trip just to see these little lighthouses.

Staff is very friendly and really takes pride in their museum. It's kept up well and very educational. Thank you

As it turned out, we were in Provincetown the following weekend when gay comedian Matteo Lane was appearing. It wasn't cheap, almost $120 for two seats in the balcony. We lined up on the grounds around the historic building and waited about an hour before they let us in. Entering the cavernous hall, I felt like I was in one of those late show movies where the suspicious townsfolk would be listening to a boyish Jimmy Stewart begging for their support for some cause like a new fire engine. Chairs were set up in long rows, and the acoustics were quite good. We could hear Matteo's punchlines pretty clearly from the balcony. The decidedly old-fashioned place really fits the small town vibe even if it's on busy Commercial Street. RELATED - Exploring Provincetown?

I love coming to the Provincetown Hall to see performances. I have seen so many great performances…read moreby the most talented performers. I have always gotten balcony seats and it's a great view from up on the second or third floor. The Town Hall is beautiful on the inside and out. They always have the best musicians come whether they're vocalists, pianists, violinists, etc. Sometimes they'll have famous award-winning performers. I always look forward to seeing a performance. They have bathrooms accessible and easy to find as well. After a performance, you'll also more than likely be able to find souvenirs sold by the entrance/exit. They always have the most talented guests come and perform.

Go back in…read moretime I love Wellfleet, it's my favorite part of the Cape. We have been coming here for years, owned property here and still have friends we frequently visit. Surprisingly it really hasn't changed that much over the years. Sure the traffic on Rt. 6 is still hellish during the summer but then it was always pretty bad. Most of it is heading toward P-Town and just going through Wellfleet. The town does get crowded during the summer but you can still find quiet places to get away. The center of town is about as quaint and New England as it gets. A few little stores, a couple of restaurants and a beautiful church. What really makes Wellfleet special is that most of it was left undeveloped.. Just one lovely place after another that was left pristine and wild. Most of the entire east side is dunes and beach. Wellfleet is a great place for walking along a lonely beach, biking on the trails or kayaking in the harbor. If you want some excitement P-Town is only a short drove to the north. If you want to go out to the islands Hyannis and the ferries aren't too far away, although in the summer it might take a while to actually get there. Like most of the Cape Wellfleet is the nicest in the off season when it becomes quiet, lonely and very, very special.

During the summer we only come by boat so road rage doesn't set in but then we're faced with the hordes of tourists in town. It's still a terrific place to be but the fall is something extra special. It was a gorgeous, sunny and warm day for a walk around the picture-perfect New England center of town, with plenty of time and space to wander into some of the shops and galleries. We are boaters so we like checking out the harbor and looking around at other people's boats. There were still plenty of them to see down at the town pier. The beach is beautiful and ideal now for a peaceful walk with the incredible dunes behind you. The pace was really relaxing, unhurried and with comfortable temperatures. This is a great town for walking and biking. It's so worth a trip down this time of year. Go if you can.

It was great seeing the "old fashioned" post office boxes from years past...a really nice vintage look. The building is beautiful, the actual post office area is located in a 2+1⁄2-story brick building that was built in 1930. The main facade has a loggia-style arcade of three arches on the first level, leading to a recessed entrance. The second story has three large windows across, and the gable end has an oculus window and dentil moulding. The building is crowned by a cupola. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.

I really appreciated the effort the post office put into helping me get 34¢ of stamps per postcard. The building was a nice handicapped accessible brick structure.

There are 4 Town-Owned cemeteries in Provincetown…read more The oldest is the Winthrop Street Cemetery which is located between Winthrop and Court Street. This review is for the Alden Street Cemetery, established in 1800 which is sub-divided into several sections - Old, New and Upper (Alden A & Alden B). Across Cemetery Road is the Gifford Cemetery which was established in 1818. Hamilton Cemetery, established in 1833, sits next to the Gifford Cemetery and is the smallest with only 92 plots. The Alden St Cemetery has many sites dating from the 1800s and even some from the 1700s. Of course it is still an active cemetery so there are sites from recent years. For those into historical sites, you could see stones where people's lives were in-scripted with the years, months and days...some just even said Mother or Father....some were for people in the military or seamen.
