Run by two sisters in Sandwich, Salt and Honey Creamery scoops small-batch gelato, ice cream, and soft serve alongside Greek-inspired sweets you won't find anywhere else on Cape Cod.

Sharky's Provincetown shop on Commercial Street is the place to grab a Ptown tee, a stuffed animal, or a souvenir that actually feels like the town rather than generic boardwalk fare. The shop designs its own cheeky originals, including the well-known sunset 'Just the Tip' print you'll spot all over the East End. Good for travelers hunting a memorable shirt and families browsing for a low-key gift on a stroll down Commercial.
