There’s something utterly magical about a Provincetown winter escape. It’s like the town transforms into a serene snow globe, but cooler. Picture cozy, snow-dusted streets, twinkling lights, and the serene hush of the harbor — seriously, it’s Insta-worthy!
Forget the bustling summer crowds, winter is when Provincetown truly comes alive. In the new year, inns and B&Bs still welcome visitors, allowing you to pass a relaxing evening by the fire with a book you’ve long hoped to read, or to seek inspiration in the open and windswept beaches, which feel like yours and yours alone.
You can pop into any of the local cafés and warm up with a steaming cup of hot chocolate or better yet, some chowder! And winter is the perfect time to to save some cash at spas, art galleries, and retail stores as many offer discounts during the colder months.
Oh, and did I mention seals can be seen year-round on Cape Cod? Yeah, you heard right. Who wouldn’t want to see those cute, glossy-eyed creatures basking in the winter sun?
At the end of February, as cabin fever has surely set in, P-town throws you a lifeline with Snowbound Leather Weekend! That’s right folks, you can ditch the snow boots for leather boots. This annual February event is a chilly celebration of community and camaraderie that truly warms you from the inside out. It includes various events like Leather Dance, Mr. Snowbound contest, and oh-so-satisfying brunches. It’s provocative, it’s fun, and it’s unforgettable.
So if you’re looking for a winter escape that’s truly enchanting, Provincetown in winter is an experience you won’t want to miss!
