A Provincetown institution on Commercial Street, the Boatslip Beach Club is the heart of Provincetown’s legendary afternoon tea dance scene: a daily summer ritual where the dance party starts on the outdoor pool deck at 4 PM with DJs spinning to a mixed, joyful crowd against the backdrop of Provincetown Harbor. The Boatslip captures the particular, extraordinary energy of Provincetown at its most festive: a town that has been the East Coast’s most welcoming LGBTQ+ beach community for decades, and a dance party that has been a Cape Cod summer tradition for generations.
