Switching Topics, Any News on Ptown and Lauderdale Activities Opening?

I often get criticized for what I post here but hoping to hear if anyone knows what's going on in Provincetown or Lauderdale July and after. I need some nice gay life visits but am very careful. Thanks

Provincetown has had great weather so far this summer. Boy Beach has had usual crowds, but especially when it is not high tide, easy to spread out if so inclined. Hatches Harbor and Long Point are always less crowded. Bike rental places all open so you can bike around town and through National Seashore. Most restaurants are open with outside dining - and some inside dining - partitions and limited tables. The most popular shows are opening - Varla, Dina, and Miss Richfield in outdoor settings with audience spread out. Some bars open, but you have to stay seated and purchase food. Everything closes early.

There are some FB kooks posting all sorts of ridiculous on the Community Pages, ignore them. You can have a great time:

Mask wearing and social distancing are taken VERY seriously. Wear your mask and follow signs/directions - for example some shops (they’re all open) have to limit the number of folks allowed in at a time.

Plenty of day trippers, so people watching is still great. Only a few big name shows, so you will not get flyered to death on Commercial, but miss seeing all the drag queens hocking their shows.

Make reservations for shows, tours, attractions and dinner. With reduced seating capacity, don’t expect to just walk in to eat. There is no bar seating in restaurants.

Take the opportunity to do things you might not have done before, like visit PAAM, walk and swim the breakwater, go to the ponds, take a Dune Tour, whale watch, walk or bike through the neighborhoods. Gardens are looking pretty spectacular.

Much more about nature and less nightlife this year.

Look up Provincetown Magazine on line. Lots of ads for what is going on.

Thanks for the update. We're debating an August trip. I preferred the days when it wasn't so crowded so this may be the year to return.

If you come to Mass you are supposed to quarantine for 14 days, especially if you are from a high risk state. The new infection rate here is finally down and it would be nice to keep it that way.

Ptown has cancelled nearly all of their seasonal entertainment. Fire Island is a ghost town.

 

Key West has also followed suit: I applaud them for finally canceling Fantasy Fest this year.

It had been very quiet in Provincetown through early June. Once B+Bs opened again, people started returning.

It is definately not as busy as a typical July, but people are coming.

The beach is open, the streets are open. People are mostly very respectful with mask-wearing and giving others space.

Come visit and please look me up when you're here. I stopped seeing clients for a few months, but strting back up
