Brandon Flynn has declared his affection for Provincetown with a series of sunlit Instagram photos captioned “Ptown, I love you.” The 13 Reasons Why alum treated fans to scenic shots of sandy beaches, pastel-painted cottages and rainbow flags fluttering in the breeze — all set against a backdrop of cerulean skies.
Sun, Sand, And City Charm
In the carousel of images, Flynn strolls along Commercial Street in colorful linen trousers, pauses by a waterfront pier and soaks up the late-afternoon glow on Herring Cove Beach. One snap shows him reclining on a striped beach chair, sunglasses on and a relaxed smile that perfectly captures a laid-back island spirit.
Provincetown — affectionately known as Ptown — sits at the tip of Cape Cod and has long been celebrated as an LGBTQ-friendly haven with a thriving arts scene. Flynn’s followers immediately flooded the comments with heart emojis and tips on must-visit galleries, seafood shacks and iconic dune trails.
A Well-deserved Break Between Roles
Just weeks before these photos, Flynn wrapped an acclaimed off-Broadway run playing Marlon Brando in Kowalski. Critics lauded his nuanced performance, noting how the former 13 Reasons Why star channeled Brando’s intensity with a modern twist. Flynn told Vogue Man Philippines in March, “Some part of this job needs to remain fun for it to feel worth it,” underscoring why a seaside getaway was exactly what he needed.
Fans may also recognize Flynn from his upcoming Max horror-comedy The Parenting, in which he shares the screen with Lisa Kudrow and Parker Posey. In a recent interview on ManAboutTown, he teased that the film balances laughs with genuine frights — “I was really quite taken aback at the scream-meter” when attending the premiere with his husband.
From Screen To Shore
Flynn’s love for Provincetown isn’t entirely new: he’s celebrated coastal escapes before, posting candid snaps from Zipolite, Mexico, last summer, captioning one shot simply, “Zipolite ❤️🐳.” This year’s Ptown adventure, however, feels particularly personal. His latest feed highlights a handwritten doodle reading “Be Here Now,” perhaps a nod to living fully in each moment.
He even shared a framed shot of his toes buried in the warm sand, the iconic Pilgrim Monument visible in the distance — a reminder that Cape Cod’s history runs as deep as its ocean swells. Between snapshots of rainbow-hued sunsets and waterfront cafés, Flynn’s message is clear: this is a place to recharge.
Fans React To The Getaway
Longtime followers praised Flynn for showcasing Ptown’s inclusive culture. One commented, “You’ve captured everything we love about the Cape!” Another joked, “Next time, bring me along,” while a local gallery owner invited him to a new group exhibit opening on June 15.
The actor’s social feed also hints at upcoming stops: he tagged the Pilgrim House Bar and several lobster shacks, sparking foodie recommendations from fans. Given his past shout-outs to vegan spots on Earth Day — he recited Marlon Brando’s words in a Mercy For Animals film earlier this year — it’s no surprise he’s already planning plant-based pit stops around town.
Flynn’s Ptown posting comes amid a summer surge of celebrity Cape Cod jaunts, from Tilda Swinton’s art residency to Laverne Cox’s drag brunch appearances. In that company, Flynn’s sun-soaked vacation stands out for its genuine warmth and his clear affinity for a town that mirrors many of his own values.
As the weekend draws to a close and Flynn’s Ptown carousel nears its final slide, one image remains: a celebratory group shot under a rainbow arch, with Flynn front and center, grinning as confetti falls. If this trip is any indication, Provincetown has won a new admirer — and Flynn has given his fans plenty of reasons to start planning their own getaway.
Whether he’s back on stage, on camera or reclining by the shore, Flynn seems determined to find balance between craft and calm. And as his final caption reminds us, sometimes the best roles are the ones you don’t script.
