Provincetown

This isolated, yet remarkably open-minded New England beach town on the eastern end of Cape Cod has long been a magnet for summer-party seekers and all-around adventurers, drawing artsy types, gays and lesbians, and assorted free spirits to bask by its shores and soak up the culture of one of America's oldest art colonies. Long days spent combing the miles of protected beachfront – or exploring the high seas on the deck of a sailboat – tend to seamlessly merge into evening partying. One of the best ways to get your groove on is by attending the town’s popular Tea Dance at the waterfront Boatslip Resort, a distinctive summer party that harkens back to Victorian times, when afternoon tea was still a ritual – here, it's been updated to include cocktails and DJs spinning dance tunes.
