Ferry to ptown

Does it worth a day trip? Am I seeing things or it costs $61 round trip per person? Since we%26#39;re on a tight schedule and don%26#39;t know when we%26#39;ll be in MA again, wonder if we should take the morning ferry to ptown and back that night and say we%26#39;ve been to Cape Cod. Any suggestions on must do/eat at ptown? Thanks!

ABSOLUTELY worth the trip! (Provided the weather is nice) P-Town is a very walkable town. The main street is Commercial St., and is lined with small shops, art galleries, restaurants and bars.

Try Boubula%26#39;s on the Bay for a nice lunch... it%26#39;s about a 5 minute stroll from where the ferry pulls in... turn left on Commercial St. (walk WITH the one-way traffic)

Another nice place is the Lobster Pot, also on Commercial St, about a block to the RIGHT on Commercial St. from the ferry landing.

You can get a great view from the top of the Pilgrim Monument.

Check out the odds and ends for sale at Marine Specialties... sort of a ';rummage sale'; type potpourri of stuff from army surplus to sea shells.

If you have the option of the ';regular'; or ';high speed'; ferries, the high speed is definitley worth it...

Please, please, do yourself a favor and take the high speed catamaran over the standard ferry. Firstly, you%26#39;ll save yourself lots of time, and secondly you%26#39;ll save your stomach!

Unless the regular vessels have been upgraded, they are the same ones that are used for booze cruises on the harbor and the things bobs in the water like a cork when the seas get sketchy. The one time I took the ferry, I spent three hours being terribly ill getting to Ptown, and that was even after I took my Dramamine!

It%26#39;s worth a day trip, but you might enjoy an overnight just to save yourself the wear and tear. At this time of year the temps are still good and the crowds are less. I recommend the Cozy Cottage B%26amp;B, on Bradford Street at the end of Ptown going towards Truro. FABULOUS!

I second the recommendation of the Lobster Pot on Commercial. The place might seem a little tourist-trappy but the food is excellent and the wine list is surprisingly good. They serve all day regardless of the time, so going late for lunch or early for dinner is the way to go. The dining room will be a little quieter.
