If you like to spend your summers at the beach, Cape Cod is a must-visit for you. During the summer months of June, July, August, and if we are lucky, September, Cape Cod Massachusetts is a hot spot for vacationers. With so much to do, people return yearly to experience the same fun. It has beautiful geography, famous beaches, dunes, and coastal shops. No matter where you stay, there are so many activities to keep you entertained.
If you are looking for a relaxing getaway, one of the many beaches such as Old Silver in Buzzards Bay may be the spot for you. It’s a fan favorite because of its warm and clear waters. Vacationers love this one because it is very swimmable. The sand is soft making it a perfect place for beach games such as volleyball. It has two sides, one available to the public, and also private access for renters and locals. There’s parking, bathrooms, and food available making it a great place for families. It doesn’t matter if you’re tanning, swimming, or even just taking in the scenery, it’s a perfect place to relax and unwind on a hot summer day.
Another recommendation has got to be the Head of the Meadow Beach. It’s located in North Truro and is known for being the least crowded beach of all Cape Cod National Seashore beaches. It is well known for its scenic vistas and its well-kept dunes. It’s always a great time for those who love to swim and explore, specifically because of its deep tide pools that are filled with marine life. Unlike Od Silver, Head of the Meadow opens up to the Atlantic Ocean, so the waves are more spontaneous making it a perfect spot for boogie-boarders and surfers. It provides two parking lots and offers patrons the option to pay daily or purchase a season pass which can also be used at any other National Seashore beaches which is a great value. It is an amazing spot to sit back and experience the magical illusion of the endless Atlantic ocean, while also providing a great place to swim, surf and explore!
If you want to stay active throughout your stay, or if you’re someone who seeks out adventure, you must take advantage of the Dune Shack Trail on the tip of the Cape, Provincetown. It’s a 1.4-mile hike through the natural beauty of the dunes. With a stunning view of the beach at the end, it offers a moment to take in the spectacular view before you make your way back. Along with the views, it’s a gorgeous and unique place to hike, and a great way to explore the area and the Cape wildlife!
After a relaxing day at the beach, you should make the time to explore Cape Cod’s many downtown shops! Provincetown is home to one of the most well-known downtowns in all of the Cape. According to hotels.com, it’s “nearly 2 miles in length from end to end”. It is a fantastic place to shop because of its welcoming and diverse vibe. Many small businesses offer delicious food and charming clothing boutiques. It is bustling even into the night which makes it a great enjoy all it has to offer.
Overall, Cape Cod is the perfect place to get away from your everyday life, with its delicious cuisine, exciting downtowns, and most importantly, its stunning beaches. People of all ages are guaranteed to experience some fun and relaxation! It is a memorable spot for many families and you should definitely plan a visit this upcoming summer!
