Provincetown: An Eco-Tourism Destination

Provincetown is surrounded by an abundance of natural resources that are available to the Town and its visitors. More than half of Provincetown is comprised of the National Seashore, federally protected animal and bird life, and miles of trails for walking and biking. Furthermore, Provincetown offers: 
  • authentic and unique experience (quintessential New England Experience and GLBT experience) 
  • history (we have the Pilgrim story and the Dozen Distinctive Destinations award)
  • nature (nature walks, dunes, beaches, whales, etc)
  • outdoor activities (boating, biking and the incredible, new bike trails, walking, beaching, etc)
  • conservation programs (water and energy conservations, recycling program, compost pile)
  • seasons
  • public transportation (a car is not needed in Provincetown)
  • lighthouses and harbor.


The following is a listing of Provincetown's environmental riches: 

Bonfire at Herring Cove Beach



Fall is my favorite season in Provincetown. 


Many people catch up on their reading and others (re)start project they have been putting off since Spring. But if you're an outdoorsy person, a bonfire on the beach is always fun. 


It's just like in the fairy tales: a few people gathered around the warming fire, little sparks making their great escape into the misty fresh air coming from the ocean, great company and stories from "back in the day" served with fresh marshmallows.


You do need a permit from the Cape Cod National Seashore to light a bonfire on the beach and having a fire pit is ideal. 


Also, remember to bring a few chairs, blankets (just in case) and water to put out the fire with. A camera is a must. You'll snap some great shots of the sunset. 


Have fun!
