Dune Shacks of Cape Cod
If you have ever heard of or seen the Dune Shacks of Provincetown, Cape Cod you know how strong of a pull they will have on you. If not, be prepared for the History and the Mystery of the Dune Shacks and start planning your own trek to experience their magic.
Maybe a mile or so from Provincetown’s Commercial Street is the entrance to the Provincelands. Right off Highway 6 is the end of Snail Road, park along the side of the highway and start down the sand path, through the woods. 50 yards will bring you to the first giant sand hill that you must climb to enter the park. It is hard but worth it, each step takes you back a half step and there is an endless amount of sand! Persevere though and you are rewarded with a great vista of the dunes all the way to the beach, about a mile away. The hike is relatively easy, it is the hills that make it a challenge. There are only 2-3 big hills on your way to the beach so no reason to be discouraged. Once you have made it to the scrub trees, it is easy going.

The Dune Shacks of Peaked Hill Bars Historic District is a 1900-acre National Register district significant for its association with the historic development of art and literature in America; for its representation of a rare, fragile property type; and for its association with the poet Harry Kemp. It has long been a place of inspiration, contemplation, creativity, and solitude.
Since the mid-1990s, the National Park Service has had agreements with non-profit organizations that offer artist-in-residence and writer-in-residence programs in the historic dune shacks. In addition to these opportunities, there may be additional residencies available including architecture, engineering, science, cultural/historic, dance, music, and journalism.
