Provincetown’s beaches offer a number of accessible locations. Coast Guard and Herring Cove beaches provide accessible parking, restrooms, changing facilities, and beach wheelchairs. Herring Cove also offers accessible showers. The Cape Cod National Seashore’s website offers comprehensive accessibility information and a phone number for questions.

Provincetown itself has striven to become more accessible, but it struggles with some typical problems in older towns, like uneven sidewalks and steep roads. The nonprofit group Accessible Provincetown provides a comprehensive list of accessible businesses around town.

One of VACAYA’s main missions is to give back to the communities we visit. We view travel as a truly transformative experience. LGBT+ travel specifically has changed the way people all over the world view our community. They have given us so much by welcoming LGBT+ travelers with open arms. Now, it’s our chance to give back to them through our ReachOUT program.

We’re working on our ReachOUT initiative(s) for this trip and all the details will be posted here. So stay tuned!

Provincetown is known for its Tea Dances and the Boatslip is famous for them! At this early stage, Boatslip is planning three Tea Dances over the week that all VACAYA guests will have VIP access to attend. As with any large-scale event, Tea Dances and other Entertainment may fall under post-Covid capacity limits that may impact our ability to gather in that large a number. If the situation requires smaller events, we’ll adjust (as we have proven we can do) by planning smaller gatherings at the beach or at each hotel where we can implement social distancing and any other protocols required by the government at the time.
