Cape Cod Day Trip: Barnstable
Barnstable is rich in history with an evolving culinary tradition. Salt air makes you hungry, and as you explore our village by the sea there are many places to stop for refreshment. To sample the...
Cape Cod Day Trip: Brewster
Brewster straddles a narrow expanse of land midway along the length of the Cape, and is dotted with eight landings on its bayside (north). Scallop shells pepper the sand and, if you are lucky, you may...
Cape Cod Day Trip: Chatham
Everywhere you go in Chatham could be the front of a postcard or a cover of a magazine. From Shore Road, where modern and historic homes hug the Cape Cod National Seashore, to the beautiful crest of...
Cape Cod Day Trip: Chatham II
If you’re lucky enough to be on the peninsula of Cape Cod, push your luck a little further and make your way to the quaint town of Chatham. The problem with visiting Chatham is less about what to do...
Cape Cod Day Trip: Dennis
An overcast day on the beach may be a disappointment for fellow sun worshippers like myself, but no need to pout…there’s still plenty to do on the sound side of Dennis.

Cape Cod Day Trip: Orleans
Not every town on the Cape has a beachfront view of both sunrise and sunset like Orleans, so roll out early and get to Nauset Beach to watch the day break. Then eat your way to sun down.
Cape Cod Day Trip: Provincetown
The ferry ride from Boston to Provincetown is scenic in its own right—passing lighthouses and islands with sailboats weaving in and out of...
Cape Cod Day Trip: Sandwich
Sandwich is the oldest town on the Cape, with plenty of history and working museums, including the Hoxie House, the oldest house on the Cape; the Sandwich Glass Museum that houses original pieces...
Cape Cod Day Trip: Wareham
Wareham is considered the gateway to Cape Cod, and Onset is one of the most underrated picturesque villages in the Cape area. I could spend the whole day in Onset, and I sometimes do since I have a...
Cape Cod Day Trip: Woods Hole
Home to world-renowned marine research labs and no shortage of colorful characters, Woods Hole is a magnet for scientists and sailors, bikers and beach bums.
