That&#;s when Charles Hawthorne founded the Cape Cod School of Art, giving birth to the Provincetown art colony.
Hawthorne had been touring Fresh England, looking for the perfect location for his summer art school, when he came upon Provincetown, which had been devastated by the Portland Gale of Much of the town lay in ruins and a significant portion of the fishing fleet had sunk in the storm, leaving a significant number of windows in town. The town&#;s economy was in shambles and many of the women offered housing and cooking for the artists Hawthorne promised he&#;d bring advocate with him.
The visionary&#;s college soon opened a pipeline between Provincetown & Recent York City. The prepare service that was ready at the time between the two points brought many to town from NYC&#;s Greenwich Village. Over the next two decades, Provincetown welcomed not only thousands of artists, but also writers, actors, and left-wing political radicals who brought new ide

Just 90 minutes away from Boston is a tiny seaside town on the tip of Cape Cod that has as much history as it does gay customs. While many remember from history class that Plymouth Rock was where the Pilgrims settled in , it was, in evidence, Provincetown where the Pilgrims first landed before passing on to Plymouth and settling what would soon become the U.S.
American history aside, P-Town, like many popular, small gay getaways, has been completely taken over by the Homosexual community. With a population of about 3,, the small New England getaway boasts 40+ gay guesthouses, 10+ gay bars and clubs, and 2 lgbtq+ beaches, which fill to bursting point for the dozen or more Queer events that happen during the summer and drop months.
Out of season every year, however, it reverts back to being a quiet seaside haven, one with extremely hospitable locals—and an uncanny amount of writers—always happy to haul up a stool for you around the heat. Whenever you choose to visit, you'll find a beautiful town infused with New England charm,
Just on the clue of Cape Cod, Provincetown has a long history as an LGBTQ-inclusive destination. With expansive beaches, top-rated restaurants, a picturesque town center, and a prosperous history, Provincetown (or Ptown as it is affectionately called) is home to a diverse and creative community.
Its many summertime events, from the iconic Provincetown Carnival in August to LGBTQ society events for lesbians, bears, families and everyone else, are a unique way to experience the small town.
I’ve written before how there’s just so much to do in Provincetown, and for a small town, there’s really a lot going on. If you’re looking for a hushed beach holiday, it’s possible. If you’re looking for a raucous weekend of parties, there’s that, too. Provincetown is the kind of place that is what you produce of it.
With such a comfortable and laid-back atmosphere and an “anything-goes” attitude, it’s a really special place. That’s probably why so many visitors passion returning year after year, summer after summer.

Provincetown likes you just the way you are
Known as “America’s First Destination,” wayward groups have always found solace where the rain met the land on three sides. From the pilgrims’ first touchdown off the Mayflower, to expressive artists and writers of the last century, to the LGBT communities that grew in number and resilience, all of these groups helped Provincetown became “Ptown:” one of the most idyllic, inclusive beach towns in America.
What makes Provincetown different perhaps is that it does not impose itself upon you. Under the relaxed vibe of Provincetown, you feel that whatever you’re doing is exactly what you’re supposed to be doing.
Many male lover tourists will seek the heat and sights of Herring Cove Beach, a short hike from town. This beach is notoriously cruisy, more so the further south you go. If you prefer not to scanned and picked at a like a five-dollar buffet, there are more picturesque and secluded places (you decide what this means) to take in the gorgeous dunes and wild grasses.
