  Cape Cod, MA, USA

  Cape Cod is truly your atypical beach vacation. It’s a place where your everyday white, sandy beach is replaced by a uniquely breath-taking rock-rimmed ocean, complete with a fairytale-like lighthouse around every corner. The air is crisp even in the middle of summer and the sun never suffocates. The locals are warm and inviting, bringing a bit of southern hospitality to their beloved Northern state. I promise, by the end of week it really seems like the place where “everybody knows your name.” And if you are into shopping and food as much as I am, you won’t be disappointed. The shops and boutiques here are quaint and full of fun treasures and the sea food is to die for… especially being a native Southerner whose idea of good fish comes from the Red Lobster…just imagine, huge fresh delicious lobster for half the price… YES PLEASE! And don’t even get me started on the clam chowder, it is fabulous! Unlike the cheap version I’ve unfortunately become accustomed to, this local delicacy has more chunky clams than potatoes…what a novel concept!

  Provincetown in Winter

  Cape Cod, MA, USA

  My friends and family were surprised when I told them I was going to spend October through May of this past year with a group of other writers and artists on Cape Cod--and not just Cape Cod, but Provincetown, which lies on the furthest tip of the sliver of land that juts out into the cold sea. It's true that the overwhelming bulk of Provincetown's visitors come in the summer, especially in July-September, when the water is the warmest for swimming, the ferry from Boston runs several times a day, and all the ice cream shops, candy stores, boutiques, art galleries, restaurants, and bars on bustling Commercial Street are open. But Cape Cod in the winter has a contemplative, bleak beauty that I loved. The town shrinks to a couple thousand people and many businesses close, leaving the remaining lobstermen and artists alike to congregate for sandwiches and talk at general store/delis like Farland Provisions and Angel Foods, and for weekly events like Trivia Night at The Pig. I have never seen anything quite so strange and beautiful as the beach covered with salty ice and snow, and late winter also brought clamming season, when we walked out onto the sopping sand of low tide with our boots and buckets and rakes to dig up enough clams to make chowder for a Superbowl Party. The slower season makes for a much easier drive up the Cape, and the bus service to and from Boston runs twice a day. Local bed-and-breakfasts offer special rates for late fall and winter, and readings and art openings at the Fine Arts Work Center and the Provincetown Art Museum happen frequently throughout this open and welcoming little town's "off" season.

  Summer fun on the Cape

  I grew up just outside of Boston, so going to Cape Cod is what summer is all about. Our favorite place has been Orleans, because of its proximity to Nauset Beach. Nauset has some of the strongest waves coming off the Atlantic, which I prefer because I love to body surf. Personally, I find the Bay waters a little too calm. Another great thing about Orleans is that the town has a baseball team – and the tickets are pretty affordable for a family. Wellfleet has been another popular spot for my family over the years, since there is an active community – typically a lot to do in the evenings. But our total Cape experience is not complete without grabbing the ferry to Martha’s Vineyard. Cottage rentals and summer homes adorn much of the Cape, but Martha’s Vineyard is in class by itself with beautifully decorated homes. On the whole, the Cape feels different from the rest of the State and never loses its charm or fun.

  My mom, a Bostonian by nature, grew up in Natick, MA and spent her summer's on Cape Cod. Still, her entire family lives in Boston or on the "Cape." So, I have visited there more often then I can count. In fact, I spent many summers swimming in the COLD ocean and attending boys' baseball camp with my brother and cousins. These memories are with me forever! My advice to vacationers - if you are planning a summer trip to the Cape, be ready for large beach crowds, restaurant waitlists and lots of traffic. But, trust me, the POSITIVES outweigh the negatives. Take a look at the list below! Must visit beach: Cahoon's Hallow in Wellfleet Must eat in restaurant: The Captain's Table in Hyannis Port Must do tourist attraction: Main Street in Hyannis Must go to store: The Old General Store in Centerville Must get icecream: Four Seasons Must attend children's summer camp: Cotuit Kettlers Baseball Camp If you do all the above, your trip to Cape Cod is sure to be crazy fun and memorable!
