One word of caution, due to its immense popularity, the Inn is very often sold out and it is necessary to reserve well in advance. In fact, there may even be a minimum stay required at certain times of the year.

Where to Dine?

Although Provincetown's landmark restaurant, The Lobster Pot Restaurant, may not qualify as romantic dining, its friendliness and unpretentiousness nevertheless place it in the category of a must try. Zagat's survey has named it as one of Cape Cod's top restaurants.

There certainly is nothing fancy or swanky about the restaurant, particularly when we walked through a hallway that partitions the kitchen with glass windows. Nonetheless, we were given an opportunity to watch the kitchen staff laboring over the preparation of seafood, meats and vegetables. At least it was reassuring to know that the kitchen was very clean!

The atmosphere reminded us of a gathering of neighborhood buddies where locals meet and enjoy a menu that is easy on the palate, with an extensive array of Portuguese specialties, steaks, poultry, vegetarian, and light fare. Don't forget their award-winning clam chowder, which we tasted and found to be unbelievable along with the just rightly prepared halibut. The prices were certainly reasonable, and no doubt, the locals know a good deal when they see one.

Where to have a Unique Wedding?

If you are looking for a spellbinding place that would make your wedding or commitment last a lifetime, then why not go for a ceremony celebrated on the sand dunes of Provincetown against a back drop of fiery sunset hues and the sounds of rolling ocean waves?

A naturalist's paradise, the dunes provide a most spectacular venue, where, depending on the season, you will be surrounded by beach plums, salts pray roses, bayberries, beach heather, blueberries, wild cranberry, cattails, prickly pears, beach grass, beach pea, and many more interesting flora.

To make all of this happen, you can enlist Arts Dune Tours, who have been in the business of showing travelers the dunes in their four-wheel-drive vehicles for more than fifty years. They are the only buggy tour permitted in the inner dunes of the Province Lands.

Owner Robert Costa, who has taken over the business from his father Art, will take care of all of the details and will even transport all that is necessary including the food in ordinary to make the event memorable.
