Hey everyone,

To help make your visit to Cape Cod smoother, we have a couple of resources for you below.

Sharktivity App: Use the Sharktivity app for shark sightings and alerts, also stay informed on beach closures.

REPOST: Accommodation recommendations for 3 adults (mid to late September, Mid and Lower Cape)?

0 Upvotes

It was recommended that I add more specifics to what we're looking for. Basically:

  • A more private accommodation (house, cottage, etc.).
  • Looks like the standard prices were $300 - $400 night, which works for us.
  • Ideally a location we could simply walk to the ocean from as soon as we step outside.
  • As for activities, we have a car, so we're pretty open in that regard if we need to drive somewhere for any events.
    • With that in mind, any fun events you recommend checking out during mid to late September?

Thank you in advance!

lodging Any recommendations for a place to stay mid to late September for 3 adults?

1 Upvotes

Ideally near the ocean. We understand it's "A BIT" last minute, but we figured after Labor Day it wouldn't be as restrictive. Any recommendation is appreciated, thanks in advance!

EdIt: Looking somewhere with private accommodations (e.g. cottage, house, etc.) and ideally on the lower or mid Cape. Hoping for something under $400/night.

Cheapest stay?

0 Upvotes

A bit complicated:

I‘m from Sandwich, my wife is trying to stay in the area for a week or two, together or separate. She cannot stay with any friends or family and I’m looking for the cheapest possible option.

It looks like Shawme Crowel is the obvious choice, but I just want to ask the community to make sure there’s nothing I’m missing.

Any ideas? We’re open to anything.

One day on the Cape next Sunday. Fly in early am, no car, never been, rec’s please for a NorCal person.

5 Upvotes

Hello all-

Coming in Sunday morning for work meetings the front half of the week.

Never been to the Cape (or Massachusetts for that matter).

Won’t have a car, flying into Hyannis and likely staying there (work booking hotel). From what I’ve read it’s the least fun place for “things to do”.

What would you do if you had basically an entire day, without a car?

A bit about me… live in CA wine country, from Vegas originally. Love food, beaches, good places to grab a sip, toes in sand etc. co-workers coming in later at night, so ideally dinner somewhere near Hyannis.

Up for art, museums, a good beach day place, really anything that would be easy to do either with a ride share or on foot or boat.

I usually plan things, but work says go, so I go.

Parking for ferries

1 Upvotes

We're going on a day trip to Martha's vineyard and I'm wondering where the best place to park the car is, there is designated spots outside of Woods Hole if you're taking the ferry (with shuttles) but there are local private parking lots as well, what do you recommend?

Any challenges, issues to either method?

visitor Cape Cod Romantic Anniversary Ideas

3 Upvotes

Hey! looking for some ideas for the week AFTER labour day in Cape Cod. we’ll be staying in Truro. I wanted to a couple romantic activities for my girlfriend and our anniversary but we have limited time so i’m trying to choose wisely.

I was looking into Arts dune tours, but since it’s not private i don’t think it would be romantic / appealing enough for her taste

Whale watching - We took a look at this as well and she seemed somewhat indifferent, it’s quite expensive for soemthing i’m not sure either of us would love. But i am open to being swayed

I wanted to do a private picnic, i would spend the morning grabbing everything and preparing something special for her, so curious to where the best spot near Truro for that would be. i was going to hire someone to do that but the prices are super steep where i was looking and it didn’t include food

I already booked a dinner at blackfish

I think the thing she’d most enjoy is a sunset boat tour just the two of us. i don’t mind paying extra for that but just want to make sure it’s the right one. I was looking at Dog Gone Sailing and it looked cute. Really just curious to hear everyone’s opinions. thanks so much

Hi all! Looking for recommendations for activities or dinner or anything in between. My boyfriend and I have a trip early September. We usually go earlier in the summer.

We are staying around Dennisport and looking for romantic, cozy and fun activities!

We have done things from day trips to Martha’s Vineyard to a little helicopter trip which was beautiful.

Thank you in advance!!

Hi all - we come to the cape most years but this is our first staying in Bourne. We went to Old Silver Beach and I was not a fan of the crowds. Is monument beach typically less crowded?

Where’s the best boogie boarding on the national seashore this year?

1 Upvotes

I’ve stayed and gone to a bunch before, but noticed years past Nauset had a pretty steep shoreline so wasn’t great for boogie boarding, and it could get kind of rocky. Marconi always seemed like my favorite for many reasons

Falmouth Road Race Weekend

0 Upvotes

I may be in Falmouth this weekend through early next week. Just wondering what it's like during road race weekend? I assume getting into restaurants is a lot tougher than normal? Is traffic crazy? Do things lighten up once the weekend is over? Appreciate any feedback from locals or people who have experienced Falmouth on race weekend.

Labor Day weekend

2 Upvotes

Thinking about making the trip from Ashland, MA to the cape. I would have Friday off (and of course Monday too). It's the last chance I will get to have a long weekend off like that. How busy are the beaches? I am assuming that there isn't really anywhere along the cape that is close to do day trip(s). I don't think I want to pay for a place on the cape if its just going to be a shit show everywhere that weekend. Are there parts that would be worth staying at or visiting that don't get as much traffic? what is parking like in terms of cost? Was also kicking around the idea of Scussett beach, but probably going to be just as busy if not busier.

visitor First time in Cape with 1 & 4 year olds: Falmouth vs. Dennis Port/Harwich ?

0 Upvotes

We are planning a 3 nights 4 day trip at the end of August. We will be driving from Boston. I am looking for warm and calm beaches where little ones can enjoy. After researching by myself, I found these two option for kid friendly warm beach areas.
Option 1: 3 nights at Falmount. With 1 day trip to MW by ferry.
Option 2: staying at Dennis port, finding a place by the beach.

I have no idea how to navigate in Cape; if these two options make sense or if the beaches are even good for kids. I love to explore a bit Cape as well.

Any advice would be appreciated.
