Buckle up for this season 2 segment of “Weekends with Yankee” (episode 201), as we embark on a scenic journey among the famous sand dunes of Provincetown, Massachusetts. Led by owner Robert Costa of Art’s Dune Tours, we experience a piece of New England that others seldom do. Learn how the dunes are a protected part of the Cape Cod National Seashore and about the popular no-frills residency programs for artists and writers that take place here. The white sand dunes, dotted with reeds alongside the crashing waves of the Atlantic, provide a magical natural experience, making it easy to see why this place is the muse for so many artists.
