Sunsets and Sunrises, a Beach Proposal
Is a Cape Cod proposal on your mind this summer? Then we have some great ideas for a romantic and memorable proposal.
Just outside of downtown Provincetown, a quick drive or bike ride away sits one of Cape Cod’s most iconic and beloved destinations: Race Point Beach. With its rolling dunes, seagrasses swaying gently in the breeze, and sunsets among the very best in the world, it’s a perfect place to drop a knee in the soft sand and propose to that special someone.
You’ll likely have the whole beach to yourselves during the slow season (roughly November through April). But in the warmer, busier months, head out in the late afternoon after the crowds have cleared out and the heat of the day is fading. Make your way along the miles-along sandy expanse, walking towards the 200-year old Race Point Lighthouse, which provides a picture-worthy Cape backdrop. As the sun sets and lights up the horizon, the bright colors reflecting off the Atlantic’s crashing waves, it’ll be a moment you’ll savor forever.
Romance on the Water
For those looking to add some adventure to their proposal plans, head out on the awe-inspiring waters surrounding the Cape. Flyer’s Boat Rental & Boat Shop, located on Commercial Street in Provincetown, offers private sunset outings that take you around Provincetown Harbor. Let the golden hues of a Cape Cod sunset create a picture-perfect backdrop as you cruise the tranquil waters, sip your favorite drinks, and find the perfect moment to pop the question.
Another seafaring option is with Sail Cape Cod, whose stunning schooner, Bay Lady II, docks at the end of nearby MacMillan Pier. Sailing out of Provincetown for over 50 years, they are experts on the water and offer private sails aboard their ship from May through October. With just the soothing sound of the waves lapping at the ship’s side as the sun dips away, your proposal on the water is sure to be romantic and memorable.
The Ultimate View on the Cape
Perched proudly over Provincetown and visible from miles away, the Pilgrim Monument is a cherished landmark. It celebrates the history of the Cape, and you can make it a personal part of your history as well.
Just around the block from the Provincetown Hotel, you can walk over to the Monument at the end of the afternoon and climb the 252-foot high tower after the daytime crowds have dispersed. You’ll likely be alone at the top, with unbelievable views stretching from the lighthouse-marked outer tip of the Cape to the bay below and the seashore heading south down the peninsula. There truly isn’t a better panorama for your proposal than Cape Cod’s beauty surrounding you in every direction.
