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:

"Content in Provincetown"
 
It won't be long will soon be there
This place we love so much
In Provincetown you more than see
You breathe, you taste, you touch.
 
We live each day to reach our goal
To be there once again
For nothing brings us inner peace
The way that P-Town can.
 
The time it seems to go so slow
We gaze on line each day
Then suddenly we're almost there
Sweet P-Town by the bay.
 
Each year we run into old friends
Each year new friends we meet
It is our home there is no doubt
Our calmness our retreat.
 
The countdown starts the day we leave
It's where we strive to be
This place that lingers in our minds
Contentment by the sea.
