Pandemic-era Provincetown

The first week of July, 2020. Any other year and Race Point would be bustling with vacationers, the beach dotted with cheerful umbrellas, the smell of sunscreen thick in parking lot. This year, a lonelier vista. The only revelers we encounter a trio of young foxes.

The old Lifesaving Station feels emblematic of the Old Cape: plain faced and weathered but genteel and brave.

A walk over the breakwater to Long Point Light. Watch the tides, lest you get stranded - or swept to sea! Time it right and the sunset is its own reward.
