Paddling near Provincetown, MA


Provincetown sits at the very tip of Cape Cod in Barnstable County, and its position on Cape Cod Bay makes it one of the more distinctive paddling destinations on the Outer Cape. The bay-front waterfront, the West End Salt Marsh, and the waters around the breakwater and lighthouse draw kayakers and SUP paddlers of all experience levels, while the broader Outer Cape adds freshwater ponds, tidal rivers, and harbors within easy reach.
