Hello. Hi. Provincetown’s

SUMMER OF DRAG

Never before in history have so many drag queens converged, staged as many shows in as many drag styles, in as many venues, selling as many tickets to as many fans who will take as many selfies with them than are happening in Provincetown this summer. Nowhere else. Not ever. Which should you see? (pg 80) for Drag-showmatic and Listings (start pg 24). ---------

Thanks to everyone who has helped this 5th edition become our biggest! Please take a look through and notice the ads. (Some are really hot.) And then be a one of those people who lets them know you saw it in Ptown Hacks. We appreciate it. And who doesn’t like to be acknowledged...even if you’re not buying something. Advertising is kind of just saying “Hi” and that your business is welcomed. And honestly, we can’t take even that for granted. So pass along some of the appreciateion we’re also sending your way for having a look and hopefully picking up some of the love we have for the place. So much love... we moved here. ‘ Say hi if you see us out and about (or email at hacks@ptownhacks.com) with comments or to be part of next year’s edition. It’s not you. We really did split covers. Collect them all-- Provincetown First Pride (by the Guild, with Bang the Queen, Jaymes Mansfield, Miss Richfield and Chichi) and Steve Grand ( ). And look for our new ARTStickers in most print versions --Michael Goff, Andy Towle, Towleroad.com and Ptown Hacks

7 FLAWLESS WAYS 1 Herring Cove ‘Boy Beach’ Walk south from Herring TO CATCH Cove parking lot. Storms breached the dunes at ‘boy beach’ over the winter. It‘s now ‘boy island’. If biking, park A FEW RAYS at the Province Lands Road racks north of Bradford and

take a (long) hike over marshes at low tide. Caution! High tide makes getting back potentially hazardous.

2 Pool It! In town, the Crown & Anchor pool and

Boatslip pool are open daily with chaise and towel rentals, in-season grills and full bars. Provincetown Inn pool (fun fact: shape is a Pilgrim’s hat), chaises are coveted on a hot day. Frozen drinks, music, beach access.

3 See that lighthouse across the harbor? Flyer’s (131a

Commercial) runs a shuttle every half hour to Long Point, the very tip of the Cape. Gorgeous view of Ptown, but bring your own food and drink.

4 A half mile walk from the north Herring Cove parking lot is Hatches Harbor, an ever-changing natural inlet where the tides form shallow pools in which to swim.

5 For a quick dip and

sun fix, the town beach next to iconic Captain Jack’s Wharf is a good bet. At W. Vine.

6 If you’re fond of sand dunes...head across Rte 6 at

Snail Road for a hike through the dunes. Stop where you like the view. Or skip out to Race Point Beach.

7 Boats! Charter. Rent. Befriend. Whale watch. Sunset cruise. Kayak. Sail away. Heck, ride the ferry to Boston and back.
