Beach Vacation at Cape Cod

Cape Cod makes a perfect vacation spot for beach goers, history buffs, and those looking for a quiet spot to enjoy beautiful scenery.

On a recent vacation to Cape Cod we experienced a great variety of activities that so many others would enjoy as well. As a travel agent, I would highly recommend Cape Cod to my clients for a family or couples' vacation, or singles would enjoy the location as well.

Flying into Boston is pretty easy to get to the Cape, at least after the traffic subsides somewhat out of town toward the Sagamore Bridge. It is important to try and time driving hours to miss weekend traffic along the Cape, otherwise the drive to the chosen Cape destination can take much longer. Flying into Providence, Hyannis or Manchester, NH, may also be an option, then renting a car at either location.

There are beach hotels, bed and breakfasts, and inns scattered amongst the small historic towns. There are a variety of eating establishments, offering fresh seafood and many other tasty dishes. Some restaurants we enjoyed in Harwich Port include:

  • George's Pizza House, offers pizza that everyone around town raves about.
  • The Hot Stove Saloon, serving a variety of sandwiches and clam chowder.
  • The Mason Jar, good for sandwiches and clam chowder.
  • George's Fish Market, serving fresh seafood dishes.
  • Bonatt's Bakery & Restaurant, for breakfast, serving their famous Melt Away, a delicious pastry with fruit or cream cheese covering the top.
  • Most of these restaurants are busy during the meal hours, so be prepared to wait during peak times.

The beaches at Cape Cod are white sand and some often have calm waters good for swimming, kayaking, and other beach and water activities.

Except for the traffic at times, this destination would serve well for a fantastic vacation destination for many customers.

When clients think of beach vacations, does anyone ask about the Cape Cod area for their vacation ideas?
