Or just do it on your own by walking up and down Commercial Street, poking your nose into the harbor at MacMillan Wharf, and heading uphill to the Pilgrim Monument and Provincetown Museum. This scenic wonder includes 40 miles of beaches with lifeguards on duty in season, nature trails and ample opportunity to observe wildlife. Bike trails are also available, as well as a visitors center with exhibits and programs scheduled throughout the year. This nature center offers family programs on nature and natural history. Of particular interest is the boardwalk trail through the salt marsh.
Stairs lead down to the lagoon and a dock.
The shifting sands have built a pathway out to Great Island, which is restricted to walkers and boaters. Old guidebooks extend the hike southward to Jeremy Point, but there's no longer enough exposed sand to go this far safely. If you've just got to investigate, talk with the rangers out at Race Point in Provincetown about conditions and timing for the tides. Sometimes there are ranger-led trips to Jeremy Point, considerably safer than trying to guesstimate the risk yourself. To reach the start of the trail, take Route 6 to Wellfleet and follow signs to the town pier.
