From the museum, ascend the Pilgrim Monument, the tallest all-granite structure in the U.S. at 252 feet, with Cathy leading the way.

West: Provincetown Harbor and Cape Cod Bay, where the Mayflower anchored. South: Downtown Provincetown’s rooftops and Commercial Street. Clear days: Distant Boston skyline (42 miles away) and lighthouses (Wood End, Long Point). Wildlife: Spot seals, migratory birds, or whales in season, with Cathy’s tips on local ecology.
