Herring Cove Beach
Herring Cove Beach, Provincetown, MA, USA
A large and popular beach as it is sheltered from the Atlantic Ocean currents. More frequented in the summer, you'll find guys around the beach waiting to catch someone's eye. Plenty of areas of beach grass for privacy, but be conscious that the area is also popular with families, so watch out for the kids. Located to the right at the end of Route 6 in Provincetown.

Cruising Bars in Provincetown
A-House
Atlantic House (or A-House) has been the premier nightclub in Provincetown for decades. The complex is open year-round and features three distinct bars. Little Bar offers a jukebox, fireplace, and quirky nautical decor, and is a popular space for an afternoon hangout. Macho Bar is the city's original leather and Levi bar (complete with cage) attracting a cruisey crowd. The Big Room is the number one dance club in Provincetown, with state-of-the-art sound and lighting and the very latest music.
The Vault
Hidden away in the infamous Crown & Anchor resort, The Vault is the centre of the Provincetown gay leather scene. Attracting a generally older crowd of bears, their admirers, and men in uniform, this dark and seclude club is a hot spot for cruising. The place may be small but there are plenty of dark corners to retreat into, mature videos on the screens, and stiff drinks at good prices to keep you going into the early hours.
Purgatory at Gifford House
The Gifford House Inn is home to Purgatory, one of Provincetown's most popular LGBTQ+ dance clubs. In the basement below this charming vintage inn, you'll find a lively party that attracts a cruisey crowd of leather guys and plays great house music late into the night. If you need a break there's also the Porchside Bar hidden just inside the lobby of the inn, where you can enjoy a quieter drink in a lounge-like atmosphere.
