Travel Tips

It'd be better if I knew where you're staying on the Cape but as a person who goes there for a week every year I've seen my fair share of stuff around there.

Chatham and Provincetown both have excellent shopping, it's almost like a giant open-air mall. They don't have your normal stores you'd find in a mall of course but they just have various odds and ends. There's tons of ghost stories and ghost tours all over the cape so there's plenty to choose from if you're into things like that.

The Orleans area has some more modern type of attractions from shops and movies in case you need a breath of the real world during your visit. I'm not sure exactly where they are but there's a good string of movie theaters in that area in case you want to see some of the big summer blockbusters out this summer.

Historical tours lie mainly on the coast and out on the islands. I'd advise you to take a day trip out to the islands, they're all about the same and they're nice. I've been to Nantucket before and it was good, lots of lighthouses out there. Martha's Vinyard has some more condensed attractions especially around Oaks Bluff including the oldest active American carousel at the Flying Horses right outside of the ferry exit. Block Island is more historical and it also has a lot of tourist shopping to do out there.

Also if you want fishing and whale watching things then the Hyannis / Harwich area is where you want to be. It'll take you out on the lower end of the Cape but if you the inner part I'd say go for Provincetown again, head for the marinas or check in with a tourist information person there and they'll give you some good advice.

Oh and a few more things: listen closely to traffic reports if you're driving in. I've driven up there about oh 12 or so times and there's 2 main bridges you can take: the Bourne or Sagamore. We've almost always taken the Bourne (the southern one) and I think once we took the Sagamore and I don't think we ever will again; we were waiting in traffic for a long time. And if you're taking 2 cars or more have a walkie talkie system ready whether it's on cell phones or with regular push-call hand held devices, it can spare you the trouble of one car going over the Bourne and the other going over the Sagamore.
