Provincetown Resources

Provincetown is 2.5 - 3 hours driving from Boston, MA. Or 5 - 5.5 hours from New York. Peak traffic times are Saturday and Sunday after 9 am. If possible, reaching the Bourne or Sagamore Bridges on to Cape Cod before 9 am will help minimize long waits in traffic getting over the bridges.

There are paid parking lots throughout Provincetown. Parking at the Provincetown Inn is free for guests and people using the space for Family Week events or to enjoy the public pool/beach area.
