The Cape is best between just after Labor Day and Columbus Day. The crowds are mostly gone, the traffic jams have lessened. And the waters along yhe southern coast are still warm enough to swim in. Fares for the car ferry to MV start going down. As a long time Massachusetts resident, I stay away from the Cape during the summer. Also, it's not unusual to have 6 mile backups at the bridges to either get on the Cape or off the Cape

And it's not just ocean swimming to be had; one thing people never seem to ever mention or talk about is that there are actually quite a lot of very decently sized lakes on Cape Cod too.

Spent most of my summer at my Aunts cottage in Dennisport and later in Chatham. Both of my late parents worked at the Chathsm Bars Inn during the summer. This was in the early 1940's before the war.

Dennis Port is beautiful with lots to do (Dennis on the bayside is also nice...but a bit honky tonk...but still nice). Dennis Port has more of a 'beachy village feel' where you can get to everything on foot.
@msk39055 күн бұрын
What? As someone who lives in Dennis during the summer you have this completely wrong, Dennisport is by far the only part of it that could be considered “honkey tonk”? 6A side boasts the most expensive real estate along with upscale neighborhoods, Dennisport is closest to blue collar neighborhoods.

Great job Jennie. The Cape and Islands are easily my favorite region of the northeast. We were lucky enough to live on the Vineyard for 5 years. I don't know if someone out there can answer this question; Years ago I went to a beach, pretty sure it was in the town of Brewster. At the right time in the tide cycle you could walk out a quarter mile and the water was only up to your mid thighs. It may have been something like Cahoon Hollow or Calhoun Hollow. Does that sound right?
@WeneedavacationCapeCod Жыл бұрын
Thank you, Shevet! Let's see . . . there's an ocean beach in Wellfleet called Cahoon Hollow, but in Brewster (the town where the tide goes out for miles!) the beaches are: Crosby Beach, Breakwater Beach, Saints Landing, Robbins Hill, Paine's Creek, Ellis Landing, Linnell Landing, Point of Rocks Beach, Mant's Landing, and a new one this year-First Light! Do any of these sound familiar to you? We hope you get the chance to come back and wade back in to lovely Cape Cod Bay!

I've lived and summered on the Cape most of my 74 years , but please it's "ON the Cape", not "In the Cape"! Also, it's not a peninsula anymore, hasn't been ever since the put the Cape Cod Canal in, in 1912! So, technically it's an island surrounded by water on four sides, the Cape Cod Bay, the great Atlantic ocean, Nantucket Sound and the Cape Cod Canal! Have fun and drive safely, the roads here are the same ones they had in the 1800s only paved over! This is not the Indianapolis 500! Parts of the highways are called "Suicide Alley" because so many have been killed here thinking this is the 500! And please no littering, help keep "America, the Beautiful", beautiful! Thanks~♥♥🏖

the Townies generally do not have much patience for the tourists... some town beaches like in Bourne, are closed to outsiders unless you go buy an expensive beach pass at the city hall ... some towns forbid any overnight public street parking to keep tourists from parking their RVs on their streets...and or at the beach... Some communities get really upset at any visitors stopping or parking except at a store or mall... I grew up on the Cape and was back there last in 2018.

I can definitely say this is true. Grew up in Hyannis, centerville and west Yarmouth. I think it’s more of the traffic is summer time that made us annoyed at tourists lol. Trying to get off cape in summer time was terrible.
