So You Wanna Escape to Ptown, But How Far Exactly Is This Paradise?
Ah, Provincetown, or "Ptown" as the cool kids call it. The art galleries, the beaches, the lobster rolls bigger than your head... Provincetown whispers sweet summer nothings in the ears of weary Bostonians every year. But before you chuck your cubicle job and pack a swimsuit the size of a parachute, there's one crucial question: just how far is this magical land from Boston?
Fear not, fellow adventurer! Ptown isn't exactly Narnia (though with the right amount of lobstah bisque, it might feel that otherworldly). Here's the lowdown on the distance between these two glorious New England towns:
By car: We're talkin' a scenic 116-ish miles. Buckle up for a roughly 2 to 2.5 hour cruise down Route 6, with the Cape Cod breeze whipping through your hair (and possibly dislodging that last donut you inhaled).
By ferry: If you're feeling nautical and want to skip the traffic, high-speed ferries can whisk you away in a mere 1.5 hours. Just be prepared to fight a rogue seagull for that perfect Instagram shot of the Boston skyline disappearing into the distance. #WorthIt
But wait, there's more! The exact distance can vary slightly depending on which route your GPS overlord decides to take you on. Let's face it, those little blue dots can be as indecisive as a hangry toddler at an amusement park.
Pro Tip: Be prepared for some summer traffic, especially on weekends. Those lobster rolls won't wait forever (and neither will your hangry travel companions).
Tip: A slow, careful read can save re-reading later.
