Going to be vaction in the MA. CAPE COD.area in Sept what is there to do and see?

Q. we be staying in DENNIS?


Answer
I will give you some general advice. I love the Cape and go almost every summer. It's my favorite vacation place. If you are going after Labor Day, the traffic on the weekend will not be too bad. Saturday and Sunday traffic is congested.

In Dennis, there is a restaurant called Sandy's; the seafood is great. Otherwise, I am not familiar with Dennis.

Nearby, Barnstable is an old traditional town with many unique shops and antique stores.

If you like fresh seafood and casual dining, go to Arnold's on Route 6 in Eastham. They get very busy at dinner time so go before 5 PM unless you don't mind long lines. Eastham also has Flemings Donuts, the best on the Cape, and a good Italian restaurant on Route 6 near Flemings. The Red Barn offers pizza, a gift shop and miniature golf. Eastham also has a large freshwater pond for swimming called Great Pond. There is a bike trail that is parallel to the railroad tracks, too.

The Old Jail House restaurant is off the Route 6 rotary in Orleans. It is across the highway from the Skaket Motel, about a half mile down the road past the local gas company/hardware store. It has a country club flair with casual dinning. They have great steaks, seafood, salads, and desserts.

The Hole-in-One is a small breakfast/lunch cafe. Orleans has a laundramat and a bowling alley, too. Orleans has a baseball team which is a farm team for the majors. I think the games are on Tuesday evenings. Tree's gift shop is pricey but neat to visit.

There are local produce stands dotting Route 6 in Eastham and Orleans. There is a Bird Watchers Store with unique gifts related to birds on Route 6 between Orleans and Eastham. There is a large Christmas Tree Shop in Orleans at the junction of 6 and 6A.

Take a day trip to the town of Chatham; there are many galleries, shops, and places to eat. One night per week there is a free concert on the green. Check the local free, weekly travel guide. It is one of the prettiest towns on the Cape.

Take a drive on Route 6 to the end of the Cape to Provincetown. There is a huge pier, lots of artsy shops, galleries, and restaurants, expansive beaches, and shops for kites, souvenirs, flags, photographs, candy and more.

If you go to Hyannis, you can take a steam train ride, visit the museums, or book a whale watching trip. If you are into clubbing, Hyannis probably has the best offerings.

Most towns on the Cape have a weekly art or arts and craft fairs. Check the newspaper for the listings. If you enjoy art, every town has a multitude of galleries.

The National Seashore (Route 6 going towards Eastham) has beautiful beaches. If you like to walk on the dunes, go to Wellfleet near Newcombe Hollow Beach. Wellfleet has a multi-plex cinema as well as a drive-in theater.

If you like to camp, there are campgrounds in Truro. Reservations are needed.

At the bayside beaches along the Cape, the water is warmer then the ocean side beaches. All beaches require a pass, which you can buy for the day or the week. All charge for parking. The beaches fill up earlier so if you are a late sleeper, wait until afternoon to go. Green flies are prevalen on the sandy beaches so bring an insect repellent as well as a waterproof sunscreen. The flies give nasty, itchy bites.

If you like pottery, there are shops in each town. However, if you like glass, take a trip to Sandwich. The Sandwich Glass Museum is awesome. There are local glass blowers (on 6A) who will let you visit their shops and see the demonstrations.

Kids and adults like some of the attractions in Brewster (6A) like the animal farm and the indoor/outdoor aquarium.

Some of the local churches have clambakes or weekly pot luck suppers. Free concerts are common in each town. Check the local listings if you want to see a play.

There is a large music venue called the Tent; I think it is in Hyannis. There are a variety of different types of muscial artists playing there.

Gee, I miss the Cape; we could not go this year! Wherever you go, you will enjoy the beauty of the Cape. Don't miss the sunsets from the pier. Have a wonderful time.

I live in NY and ive been looking for beach camp grounds, i found a bunch ranging from Maryland to cape cod and throughout the rest of the east cost, by the websites all of the ones i have found seem geared towards family's, im looking for a place to go that would be a bit secluded and good for a group in there 20's, honestly i would probably prefer to camp on a beach that is not a campground but i dont know where that would be possible, thank you for the help and if you know any good places please let me know


Answer
Hi,

Horseneck Beach is nice. Sandy Neck on the Cape has tent camping in the dunes (really roughing it), or you can camp on the beach in an RV.

Good Luck
