Provincetown Harbor is a large natural harbor located in the town of Provincetown, Massachusetts. The harbor is mostly 30 feet (9 m) to 90 feet (27 m) deep and stretches roughly one mile from northwest to southeast and two miles (3 km) from northeast to southwest, i.e., one large, deep bowl with no dredged channel necessary for boats to enter and exit.
A tall green buoy east of Long Point (i.e., the tip of Cape Cod) marks the entrance to Provincetown Harbor from Cape Cod Bay. Several of the landmarks described in this article are identified on the aerial view shown at WikiMapia.

“Now we sing, and do tiny dances on the kitchen floor.
Our whole body is like a harbor at dawn;
We know that our master has left us for the day.”
—Robert Bly (b. 1926)
