During pre season...$6 flat rate. If you leave and come back later in the day just show your receipt. Ample parking. During peak season it fills up fast and then there is a hourly rate.

A walk on the pier is a great way to blend new and old. At the end of the wharf is a still very active fishing fleet and lobster boats representing old and historic P'town.

This is where the trolley/shuttle drops you off and so you can walk the piers. Waterfront view and also you have options to do deep sea fishing or whale watching. Many attractions of things to do can be found on the wharf.

We walked down the wharf, looked at the boats, unfortunately at the time of year we were there, the little shanty's weren't open, but we're sure it would be very nice in the summer months
