The best and easiest way to get to Provincetown (The tip of the Cape) is to catch the

passenger Ferry from Boston itself, It is a nice (about 1.5 to 2 hour boat ride) Spend the day there and take the ferry back. (I don't know if there is a Car ferry or not from Boston to Provincetown, You might want to look into that. and maybe take the ferry one way and drive the cape back.)

Avoid all the I-93 traffic, The route 3 Traffic backup at the Sagimore bridge and about 2 to 3 hours of driving both ways.

Falmouth, Yarmouth, Orleans are all very pleasant communities, as are all the small cape towns, and after labor day the Motel rooms become a little less expensive, But by mid October lots of them close for the winter. So plan accordingly.

If you are bound and determined to drive there, from Cambridge to the Sandwich is about 60 miles from there it's another 100 miles to Provincetown. The toughest part, is that first 60 miles. Route 6 is a fairly easy and somewhat pretty drive.

Good luck and enjoy your time in the Boston area!

I copied all that s**t off of the internets so you don't have to. I've driv to key west though and that was perfectly excellent. but i'd rather do boston and that. oh yes.
