Step foot inside Provincetown: A century of gay summers
rainbow civilization than meets the eye. So let’s visit P-town’s ghosts of queerness past, shall we?Despite the day on the calendar, P-town’s nearly 3,000 year-round residents make it a bubble of queerness at the tip of Cape Cod.
However, the seaside town becomes a glowing landing strip for LGBTQ+ tourism when spring arrives. The resort town’s population peaks at as high as 60,000 people during the summer.
You’ll find gorgeous days of sandy leisure, pool parties, and Hot Girl Fashion. Many gay men honor history by ditching the apps and finding hookups at historically cruisy docks and piers.
Others embrace more wholesome activities, like sunbathing at the nude-friendly “The Gay Beach” near Herring Cove Beach. Regarding Provincetown’s bars and dining, Commercial Street is the center of gay socializing and entertainment.
