"Commercial Street is home to a slew of souvenir joints, galleries, and home decor shops—but none hold a candle to this wacky hole in the wall, a Provincetown institution for 55 years. It's difficult to put Marine Specialties into a single category; it's part military surplus, part tchotchke shop, part nautical knick-knack, and everything in between. You can find old life jackets, nautical rope, every sort of shell accessory, Provincetown T-shirts, and all sorts of crazy-cool objets. The antique mermaid-shaped ship figureheads lying around would make for one heckuva of a souvenir." - Todd Plummer
