THE PILGRIM MONUMENT AND PROVINCETOWN MUSEUM
The Pilgrim Monument commemorates the history of the Mayflower Pilgrims, their arrival and stay in Provincetown Harbor, and the signing of the Mayflower Compact.
It is the tallest all-granite structure in the United States. Visitors can walk to the top on a series of stairs and ramps. During the climb, you’ll see many interior stones donated by cities, towns, and organizations from all over the United States. The view from the top is spectacular.
The Provincetown Museum has extensive exhibits depicting important events and people in Provincetown history, including the arts.

WHALE WATCHING TOURS
The Dolphin Fleet of Provincetown is the best way to experience the beauty and awe of the whales that call Cape Cod Bay home. All trips are designed to enhance your awareness of whales, other marine life and the marine habitat that surrounds you. The goal is to have each passenger depart the vessels with a greater understanding and appreciation of the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary and the wealth of life it supports. Not to mention the incredible photo opportunities of these giants of the deep.
