Locals like to say that Provincetown is at the end of the world—but it’s worth the trek. Situated among miles of seashore and sand dunes at the tip of Cape Cod, this quaint beach community is home to a vibrant art scene, outstanding food, wild nightlife and incomparable sunsets. Here, the best places to go in Provincetown. —Annie Quigley and Justin Chapple

This is the best coffee in Ptown. Start the day with a latte brewed with Tandem Coffee beans from Portland, Maine, or try their New Orleans iced coffee with chicory root. Even the to-go cups are Insta-worthy. kohicoffee.com

All of Connie’s excellent pastries are made by hand each day, and any of them—from scones to croissants—make a great breakfast. Or, come back later in the day for a beautifully rustic blueberry or peach crostata. conniesbakery.com

Before you head to the beach, stop by this quaint sandwich shop and general store for the best made-to-order breakfast and lunch sandwiches in town. You might wonder about the shop's slogan: "Sandwiches. Salads. Lube." According to the owners, the space was formerly referred to as the "lube n’ deli” by locals because you’d find anything and everything you might need while visiting the small beach community. popanddutch.com

At this laid-back Cape Cod-style beach shack, eat fish and chips or banh mi sandwiches at tables painted with seafood puns like ‘Oh My Cod,’ or drink refreshing frozen rosé in the back garden. (They claim to have started the town's now-ubiquitous frosé trend.) thecanteenptown.com
