It was a hot day
A tough and beautiful trail over the dunes to the shore, better left for a cooler, cloudy day.

Hopperscape
Edward Hopper spent every summer of his life in Cape Cod, from 1930 – the first time he visited – until his death in 1967. And while a lot will have changed from the time he produced some of his most distinctive works in Cape Cod, there is something unmistakably Hopperesque in this landscape.
Images of the Wood End Lighthouse which, seen from a sailboat, would have looked a lot like the one from ”The Long Leg”, Hopper’s painting of 1930; and Highland Lighthouse, which Hopper depicted in watercolour, again in 1930 – although the lighthouse has since been moved 450 feet away from the eroding cliff’s edge, to safer ground.

Provincetown beach at low tide could have easily doubled up as that of Portmeirion
Provincetown’s charm
I looked at these houses and it was as if they were part of a movie set.

Arriving in Provincetown
First things first: A walk along the 1,5 miles-long Provincetown Causeway, from Pilgrims’ First Landing Park to Wood End.
Crossing on low tide (check charts) is recommended, as parts of the breakwater may be submerged when the water rises. It takes about an hour just to walk its length, then about half an hour more to reach Wood End Lighthouse.
