Provincetown is surrounded by eleven square
miles of National Seashore, has a deep natural harbor and is 55 nautical miles
from Boston. When it comes to the great outdoors, there are adventures at
land's end for anyone’s tastes or pocketbook.
The Paddleboard, a hybrid of a surfboard and canoe, is a
super hit at Venture
Athletics in Whaler's Wharf (237 Commercial Street). At only
$30.00 for four hours, this new water sport is affordable, fun and great
exercise. Call 508-487-9442 for more information about one-
and two-person kayaks, full moon harbor excursions and eco-tours in cooperation
with the Provincetown Center for Coastal Studies.
Every summer, the S/V Kalmar Nyckel docks at MacMillan Pier to bring passengers aboard for sunset and educational cruises. The original ship, a 1625 Dutch 200-ton Pinnace, brought settlers to Delaware from Sweden in the mid 1600s; its historic importance rivals that of the Mayflower. A cruise on the modern version, built in the 1990s, costs $60.00 for adults and $40.00 for folks seventeen and under. The telephone number is cleverly 302-429-SHIP.

I love taking Art’s
Dune Tours rain or shine. Compass grass and rose
hips grow in the shifting sands. A guide deftly drives up and down paths while
telling stories that make you feel as if you are in on a great secret.
