Cape cod or Martha's Vineyard? |
Travel Info We are going to Boston beginning of August. We would like to do a day trip to either Cape Cod or Martha's Vineyard. Any recommendations? Travel Tips To me this is an easy choice simply because of the time. A day trip to the Vineyard is just not long enough. By the time you get there you'll be turning around, plus transportation on island is pretty pricey. If you will be in Boston I would suggest you take the Provincetown II from Boston. It leaves from in town, it's a 3 hour ride down (great to bring a towel and lie out on top deck for ride down, enjoy the band and bar on other decks on ride back IMHO). Then you get 3 hours in Ptown. It's a little short, I always wished they would give another hour or 2 there, but it's enough time to have a nice lunch, people watch, and poke around the stores, or go walk by the water, for a bit. What I like about this idea is you won't waste any of you time stuck in traffic, but it will all be fun time. If you had longer I would totally agree with the personal who wrote about Plymouth. It's a great town to go to, and if you can restructure your trip worth considering. But if it's only one day, I'd go for this and relax and have fun! http://www.baystatecruisecompany.com/ind... Others Go to the Vineyard its a lot more nicer there and u will have much more to do Have breakfast in a town like Falmouth (where you can catch a ferry) mabye a quick ride on the coast then head to Marthas Vineyard. But which ever you pick you wont be disappointed. Have breakfast at the Water Street Cafe in Plymouth, then take a ferry to Provincetown. Lots of sea air and plenty to do in P-town from eating and shopping to lazing on the beach. When you get back to Plymouth in the evening, you can walk the waterfront and see the Mayflower and Plymouth Rock. My recommendations for dinner in Plymouth are the East Bay Grille (drinks, meal, appetizers, salad or sandwich selection) or the Lobster Hut (yummy fried and broiled seafoods)! I live on the South Shore. The drive to the Cape is a chore in August. Plymouth is halfway between Boston and the Cape Cod Canal. I live outside of Boston and a day trip to the "Vineyard" is never enough..but Martha's Vineyard is an island....once you get there by ferry you can ride bikes, go to different areas - if you bring your car you need to make reservations. Parking your car in Falmouth, MA is probably best. As for Cape Cod, well, the National Seashore is something that other parts of the country don't have ...sand dunes, sea gulls...wonderful beach at Nauset. If you like to soak up the sun, that is a good place to do it! The other idea I offer to you is to take the boat from Boston that goes to Provincetown - the very tip of the cape. If your staying in Boston and are tired of driving this might be very relaxing. The boat is large and open - it is a party boat at night sometimes - offer beverages on it. But it cruises out of the Boston Harbor - ...whatever you do, have a wonderful time in Massachusetts! :o) Martha's Vineyard hands down |
