Welcome To Provincetown On Cape Cod!

This is such a pretty view of the Pilgrim Monument in Provincetown from the pier downtown. The Pilgrim Monument was built to honor the Pilgrims’ first landing in Provincetown in 1620. President Theodore Roosevelt laid the cornerstone of this 252 foot tower in 1907.

Besides being able to walk up to the tower and see for miles, there is a museum on the ground floor that is very interesting and educational.

Commercial Street, the main street in downtown Provincetown, is a wonderful place to shop and walk around and get a real feel for this unique New England town.

Have you ever been to Provincetown?

 

Herring Cove Beach In Provincetown On Cape Cod.

We took a drive up to Provincetown and stopped at Herring Cove Beach the other day. We had not been there in a couple of years and the changes were amazing! There is a new road and parking lot. Here you can see all of the beach grass that they planted to keep erosion down. The trails leading from the parking lot to the beach are spread out and fenced in along the newly planted beach grass.

Kudos to the Cape Cod National Seashore. It looks fantastic… and the beach looks huge! You can even see  the Race Point Lighthouse way in the distance.
