| How Do I Get From Boston To Provincetown |
High Seas Adventure: Ferries
- The Classic Cruise: The Provincetown Ferry and the Provincetown Fast Ferry (think speedboat for the impatient) offer scenic journeys, taking around 1.5 hours. Think salty breezes, whale sightings (maybe!), and a chance to pretend you're on your way to Nantucket (but way less chichi).
- Bonus Round: Pack some Dramamine if you're prone to seasickness, but otherwise, enjoy the ride! Most ferries offer food and drinks onboard, so you can bribe your stomach with clam chowder while battling the waves (metaphorically speaking, of course).
Road Trippin' Like a Boss: Driving
- The Freedom of the Open Road: Buckle up, buttercup! It's a roughly 2-hour drive, cruising down Route 6. Hit some classic Cape Cod towns along the way (think Sandwich, Yarmouth - no, not that Yarmouth).
- Word to the Wise: Traffic, especially in the summer, can be a nightmare. Patience is key, and don't forget the aux cord for those essential singalongs. We recommend avoiding rush hour if possible.
Soaring Through the Skies: Flying
- For the Time-Challenged: Cape Air offers year-round flights from Boston to Provincetown Municipal Airport, a quick 30-minute hop. Perfect if you're short on time or just really want to reenact that scene from "Cast Away" (minus the whole island-alone thing).
- But Wait, There's a Catch (or Two): Flights can be pricier than other options, and keep in mind the logistical dance of getting to and from airports.
**Remember, regardless of your chosen mode of transport, booking in advance is always a wise decision, especially during peak season!
