Beaches

Our favorite beach! Mayflower is best at low tide and offers shallow waters and soft white sand. This is perhaps the most popular beach on the cape and requires some planning. With nice public restrooms and a snack shack it's a great place to spend a full day. Go early to avoid waiting for parking!

Gray's Beach in nearby Yarmouth Port is the perfect place for a sunset. There is a small sandy beach and a few trails, but the real attraction is the long boardwalk and gorgeous sunsets. Bring bug spray as sometimes the beach gnats can be annoying.

Steps away from our home. Take the small forest path directly across the street to access the trail. At 25-miles long you could make it an all day adventure and stop and restaurants and waterways along the way. Beautiful any time of year, but fabulous in the summer and fall.

Is there anything more classic on Cape Cod than baseball? With over 100 years of history the Cape Cod Baseball League provides an opportunity to see some of the best amateur players. The games are free (though they appreciate donations). There are games across the cape, but the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox play just down the road at Dennis Yarmouth Regional High School at 210 Station Avenue.

Neighborhoods

Main street Hyannis is a walkable strip filled with restaurants, shops and bars. We recommend a night out here for our guests. It can get very busy during peak season, so either make a reservation or put your names in and walk through the shops. Perhaps stop by Kandy Korner or the JFK museum while you wait!

City/town information

Provincetown offers a popular beach town vibe with great restaurants, shops and culture. The Lobster Pot, The Squealing Pig, The Canteen and Fanizzi's are just a few of the great options here. We usually stop at The Penney Patch for candy and homemade fudge. Race Point Beach is nearby, but there are numerous beaches along the National Sea Shore as you make your way to the lower Cape. Parking can be a challenge, so always good to plan ahead and go early.
