Cool Place: Provincetown, MA
Sick of ended up in the most tourist-y spots possible? Tired of feeling like an unoriginal camera-holder? Head to off-season Provincetown, Massachusetts, where the population balloons in the summer but settles down when things get cold. This summertime resort area attracts a wide variety of down-to-earth visitors who are into alternative lifestyles and opend-mindedness, which means that attractions boast a little something for everyone. Plus, it's just a hop from Boston by ferry.
If you're looking for a cultural spot that's cool in more ways than one, P-Town (as it's affectionately called) is the ticket.
