Shaped like a narrow arm, Cape Cod is one of the most distinctive geographical features on the New England coast. It was the site of the Pilgrims' first landing and once the home of the native Nauset people. Cape Codders are welcoming people, comprising fishermen, farmers, artists, writers, retirees, factory workers, and more. This beautiful fishing and whaling spot is one of the Atlantic Coast's hottest destinations.
Flying into Cape Cod
Visitors usually fly into Logan International Airport in Boston or Rhode Island's T. F. Green Airport, situated just south of Providence. Cape Cod also has its own public airport, Barnstable Municipal Airport, which is served by charters and some commercial flights. The easiest way to get to your Cape Cod beach rental is by taxi. To explore the whole region at a leisurely pace, you may also consider renting a car.
Cape Cod Cuisine
Forego the usual burgers and shakes during your trip and tuck into some sumptuous buttered lobsters, fried clams, mussels, and Nantucket scallops at one of many traditional clam shacks in Cape Cod. Follow this up with a legendary New England clam chowder or lobster roll. Recommended restaurants include Añejo Mexican Bistro & Tequila Bar in Falmouth, which pleases diners with its codfish tacos and jack cheese enchiladas, or the Brazilian Grill in Hyannis for delicious Portuguese-style soups.
The food paradise of Provincetown is lined with waterside restaurants serving inventive seafood dishes. The wine and beer tours conducted by Cod Beer, Cape Cod Winery, and Truro Vineyards are worth checking out too.
A Good Time to Visit
The best time to visit is during the months of April, May, October, and November. The weather is still pleasant during these months and Cape Cod beach rentals are typically more affordable, whereas summer gets predictably crowded with families, and rental prices rocket with such high demand. Winters are chilly, yet still appeal to certain kinds of travelers in search of solace and beauty.
