We started our Provincetown adventures at this very nice beach. This beach is part of the Cape Cod National Seashore. Dogs are allowed here year round, but they do close sections off to dogs to protect nesting birds in the summer time. There was a drastic slope to get down to the water, and I must admit, walking up it through the heavy sand was a challenge. We only walked about three miles on the beach, because we had to save some energy for our Commercial Street adventure, which came next.

This is the main tourist area in P-Town! The narrow street is lined with all sorts of shops, and I mean "all sorts"! While it's not quite the summer season, everything was open. It was a perfect day weather wise, bright sun and mid 60's. It was a Monday in mid-May, and it was still pretty lively here. I can't even imagine what it would be like in the middle of peak season! Provincetown seems pretty dog friendly. Many of the shops left water bowls out for the dogs, and I noticed many people brought their dogs into some of the shops. We walked about two and a half miles here, focussing on the main commercial section of the strip. This was a very fun and different walk, and we took many pictures!

This is a small beach off Commercial Street, highlighted by the big blue chair. I had to take the opportunity to get the dogs to pose for a picture on it!

This is another small beach off Commercial Street. One of the access points is from the Johnson Street parking lot, which happens to be where we parked. The section of the beach over here is known as "Dog Beach", and dogs are allowed to be off-leash from 6AM - 9PM in the off-season, and from 6AM - 9AM and 6PM - 9PM in-season (Memorial Day to November 1st). We checked the beach out at the end of the day, so Mandy and Lexi were pretty beat at this point, but it's always nice to find off-leash dog beaches!
