The Dick Dock — Boatslip

No reviews yet

161 Commercial St, Provincetown, MA, Massachusetts, 02657, United States

The sandy area beneath the raised deck of the Boatslip Resort on Commercial Street — created when winter storms forced the deck onto pilings in the 1970s — is Provincetown's most infamous after-dark cruising spot. Documented in Building Provincetown, Hornet, and local oral history; busiest after the Boatslip tea dance disperses around 2 a.m. in peak season. The space is roughly 9,000 square feet under the boardwalk, tide-dependent. Provincetown is openly gay-friendly, but public sexual activity can still draw police attention — discretion matters.
