Boatslip Resort & Beach Club

Boatslip Resort & Beach Club is one of the best-known gay resorts in Provincetown and a major part of the town’s social scene. Set directly on Commercial Street in the West End, it combines waterfront accommodation, a pool deck, bars and one of P-Town’s most famous daily parties.

The resort has recently undergone a major refresh, with updated rooms, common areas and a more contemporary look. Bayside rooms are especially popular for their views across Provincetown Harbor.

During the day, the large deck is a relaxed place to swim, sunbathe, grab a drink or order something from the grill. There are also cabanas available, while the street-level Buoy Bar is a good spot for cocktails and people-watching before heading out for the evening.

The big draw is the legendary Tea Dance, held in the afternoon and widely regarded as a Provincetown institution.
