Our little fishing shack on the water in Provincetown is closed for now. But Northern Lights Hammocks is still in full swing and ready to ship some comfort and ease to your backyard or bedroom. 

We just got a big new shipment of beautiful Yucatan hammocks in. They are my personal favorites and can ship immediately. 

The warehouse is well stocked with Twin Oaks hammocks. They are made by an intentional community in a remote area of Virginia where everyone is safe and healthy. 

Our Opal chair is made in a rural area of Vermont. This beautifully handcrafted swing might require an 8 - 10 week wait as it is custom made but is well worth it!

Our most popular hanging chair is the Costa Rican Style. Kids love it but it is big and roomy with plenty of length for even a tall person to stretch their legs out. 

We have some new gorgeous Brazilian matrimonial hammocks created by Artisans in the Ceara region. They are on sale! And that's just a few of our favorites.

Please give us a call at 727-344-6250. We aren't able to let you personally test our hammocks these days but we still enjoy helping you pick the perfect hammock or swing to bring a bit of peace and relaxation to your home. 

Be safe and healthy.

We love to get these photos from our happy customers! Kids (and adults) love our Costa Rican style Hanging Chair/Swing. It's our most popular and for good reason. It's soft, comfortable polyester that is weather resistant. It dries fast unlike cotton swings. But the best part is how roomy it is. Even a tall man can stretch his legs out and turn this chair into a full lounger. The comments we hear: It's like being in a cocoon. Or, back in the womb. Or, perfect meditation chair. Or, the perfect spot to read my book or study. (Kids grades will go up!) Hang this little bit of heaven from a beam, tree branch, joist or our Sea Wave swing stand. Pssst....there are lots of wonderful colors available.

Hi folks,

Jane just sent us a message wondering how to clean her Costa Rican chair. (Her email address didn't work so we will post it here.)

Clean your Costa Rican style chair by removing the seat section from the wooden dowel. Tie the rope struts with string to keep them from tangling. Wash by hand with a mild soap and cool water. Hang up to dry in the sun perhaps spreading out the chair to dry faster. Please don't use bleach as it will weaken the ropes and perhaps cause a mishap. :)

Let us know if you have any questions.

Kind regards,

Nancy & Marty

Thank you, Susan for sending us this beautiful photo showing your new Cape Waters quilted hammock on our Roman Arc stand. Those soft blues on your deck overlooking the water are perfect for creating a calm, inviting spot!

We love it when our customers and friends share photos of their hammocks. If you want to share a great shot with us email:

Thanks again, Susan! Enjoy!

Northern Lights Hammocks -  same as it ever was....well almost!

We're very excited about this 35th season of Northern Lights Hammocks. The colorful historic fishing shack will continue to be the famous, little Hammock Shop that sits right on the beach overlooking Provincetown harbor on the tip of Cape Cod. Nancy & Marty will be there, as usual to guide you as you test out all the comfy hammocks and swings to find the perfect choice for you.

The Big News

T Gandolfo along with Celine founded the hammock shop back in 1981. Here is the news in his own words:

 "The Hammock Shop was born in 1981. It was conceived while Celine and I were sleeping in a Matrimonial Mayan Hammock for a dollar a night in an open thatched hut on the southern Yucatan coast. “we have got to bring these back to P-town to share and sell them in Provincetown". After 15 years, the current managers of at least two decades; Nancy Poucher and Marty Buckosh will be running Northern Lights Hammocks. They will keep the old school friendly retail humanistic approach that everybody loves so much the same. From the original “Mr. Hammock” Jim Zimmerman falling asleep in a hammock while at his post to our newly designed website www.northernlightshammocks.com. Northern Lights Hammocks will carry on as the magic big little Hammock Shop that sways gently on Provincetown Harbor at the end to the Johnson St. Parking Lot at 361 C Commercial Street….come visit and test drive a Hammock and experience the fine art of lying in a Hammock"….T Gandolfo

GRATEFUL

Marty and Nancy are so very grateful to T for the opportunity to carry on the tradition of guiding folks in the art of relaxation. And I'm sure you will find him making a few guest appearances over the summer. We look forward to seeing all of the familiar faces and the new customers that make there way down to the little shack by the water to find a bit of relaxation to take home with them for the summer!
