Gorgeous beach on the Bay side. Parking can be tricky so plan to be there early. This is a great beach for kids. Note the water is about 10 degrees cooler on the Bay Side of the Cape during peak season.

Sightseeing
Outside of a boat tour to Monomoy, this is a great place to come and watch the seals no matter the season. There is a large observation deck overlooking the boats and water. You can watch boat after boat come in to unload their catch and the seals frolicking in the water waiting for some treats from the commercial fisherman. There is a small seafood shop here too so you can purchase some of the fresh catch.

Cape Cod National Seashore
This is a stunningly scenic drive up the coast.
Provincetown (Ptown) is at the most northern tip of Cape Cod. There is definitely something magical about this place. Provincetown celebrates individuality and freedom of expression and you can feel this energy walking through town. It’s a super fun place to people watch, and there are many beautiful beaches, amazing shops, galleries and restaurants. You’ll be surrounded by beautiful harbor/ocean views.

Martha's Vineyard
There is a trail entrance off center st that leads to a boardwalk. We recommend this walk for scenic views, sunsets and observation of local wildlife. Put 400 Center Street, Yarmouth Port into your GPS. From the parking lot of the beach you'll see a sign for the boardwalk.

We recommend all our guests visit this restaurant. It is seasonal, so they are closed between early October and mid-April. It is across from the beach. If you can sit upstairs there are ocean views. There is a section that is open air upstairs with great views of the ocean. There is also seating inside on the second floor and a large bar area. They have an ice cream window at the entrance and it's fun to order your ice cream and walk across the street to sit on the benches in front of the ocean. There is also a children’s park here.There is typically an hour wait on the weekends so get their early. This is a great seafood spot and known for their lobster rolls and clam chowder.
