If you’re dreaming of a beach day that’s as peaceful as it is beautiful, I’ve got just the place for you. On my last trip to Provincetown, I found myself completely swept away by the beaches—where Cape Cod’s natural beauty meets artistic flair and a relaxed, welcoming vibe. In this post, I’ll share the Provincetown beaches I loved most—places where you can stretch out on soft sand, soak up stunning views, and feel like you’ve truly escaped. I think once you spend a little time here, you’ll fall in love too.

Highlights:

  • I couldn’t get enough of the views—from the Atlantic Ocean on one side to Cape Cod Bay on the other, it’s breathtaking no matter where you look.
  • You’ll want to stay in a comfortable hotel close to the beach—it makes catching sunrise and sunset even easier.
  • I explored some of the top-ranked beaches in all of New England, and honestly, I can see why they get so much love.
  • After a beach day, you’ve got to dine at one of the amazing local restaurants. I had some of the freshest seafood ever.
  • You’ll love sunbathing, kayaking, or just kicking back with a book and the sound of waves in the background. I know I did.
