The only restaurant on the oceanside beach! An institution but can get crazy busy. Going at off times helps (4:00- 7:00 weekdays) or on a not so perfect beach day. REALLY good raw bar as well as cooked shellfish, lots of kid friendly food. Have a Goombay Smash!

Stores
Right behind Town Hall. Park in the big lot there or take the scenic 15 minute walk from the cottage over Uncle Tim's Bridge. Great fresh fish to bring home and grill. Or call ahead and have them boil lobsters and shuck oysters for you. (we do have oyster and clam knives if you prefer to do it yourself! As well as shucking safety gloves - in the drawer with the dish towels) They also have very good fish cakes and a selection of smoked fish.

Grab some veggies to have with the fish you got from the fish market! Amazing local produce. They also have a lot back in the coolers so check out the signs for herbs, lettuces, cheeses, homemade hummus, salsa, pesto etc, etc. No computer system here, the kids still add it up the old fashioned way with pencil and paper!

Day sails and sunset sails on historic wooden schooner with a long history in Provincetown. Super nice fun crew. Bring a cooler! *****UPDATE!!! Because 2020 is a awful year - the Hindu struck a sunken yacht on its way up to Ptown this year so she is out for repairs this season. Go out on the Bay Lady instead this year!
