jewelry, and handbags, plus home decor that
has made the store a ‘must visit’ shop on the
Cape. Eight Cousins (189 Main Street) is one
of the quaint stops along the popular Cape
& Islands Bookstore Trail of independent
booksellers.
In Chatham, an Americana-styled Main
Street is where you’ll find the memorablynamed Ducks in the Window (507 Main
Street), where the young and young at heart
will find toys, gifts and the world’s largest
collection of rubber ducks. A block away,
Chatham Clothing Bar (534 Main Street) has
been outfitting men, women and children
in classic Cape style since 1979. And the
exquisite nautical jewelry at Chatham
Jewelers (532 Main Street) — think gold sand
dollars, anchors and seashells — makes a
great keepsake of your Cape Cod vacation.

Provincetown is known for the colorful shops,
galleries and restaurants along its vibrant
Commercial Street, which is where you’ll find
Marine Specialties (235 Commercial Street),
a local landmark for the past 60 years. An
army-navy surplus store, it’s a treasure trove
of unusual one-of-a-kind gifts you can’t find
anywhere else–vintage lifesavers, lobsterprint pajama pants, unique shells, and much
more. Provincetown is also the home of
Anchor2Anchor (338 Commercial Street),
which derives its inspiration form the Sea
Gypsy - a little nautical, a little hippy and a
bit of a scallywag. The shop offers nautical
apparel and accessories, along with a line
of hand-poured soy candles in such scents
as Tutti-Frutti, Over the Rainbow, Beach Rose
and Smugglers Rum. Sailor’s valentines, glass
blown baubles, jewelry and other novelty
Commercial Street in Provincetown
items can be found nearby at The Shell Shop
