Cape Cod runs on seafood shacks, ice cream stands, and the kind of low-key New England dining that doesn't need to try hard to be great. Here's where to eat around the Cape, plus a couple of ways to get out on the water beyond a whale watch.
The Lobster Roll Circuit
Every Cape Cod town has an opinion about the best lobster roll, split between the mayo-dressed "Connecticut-style" and the warm butter "Maine-style" — both are everywhere here, usually served at unpretentious clam shacks with picnic tables and a water view. Fried clams, another Cape classic, are worth seeking out at the same spots.
Provincetown's Food Scene
Provincetown punches well above its size for dining, with a genuinely diverse restaurant scene that ranges from casual seafood to some of the best fine dining on the Cape, reflecting the town's artsy, cosmopolitan character.
Beyond Whale Watching: Kayaking and Sailing
Cape Cod Bay's calm waters make it a great spot for kayaking through the salt marshes around towns like Wellfleet and Orleans, and a sunset sail out of Hyannis or Provincetown Harbor is a classic way to end a day on the Cape. Browse Cape Cod tours and experiences below to plan your trip.
Pack for the Shoreline
Boat days and beach towns call for something salt-air-friendly. The VacationGrabs Vintage Leather Backpack is a durable option for a Cape Cod weekend.
