Cape Cod, Ma, What to Do when I get here??


Probably the most frequently asked question among clients and guests visiting Cape Cod is "What can I do other than go to the beach".  My answer is usually how long are you here.  Cape Cod has an abundance of activities to keep anyone occupied and excited to be on the Cape.  While on Cape Cod, Ma a must do is go on a whale watch. "In 1975 the Dolphin Fleet started whale watching out of Provincetown, Massachusetts with the hope of bringing an understanding and awareness to the public about whales and their environment. They ventured out on educational trips with scientists to study whales as well as educate the public about marine mammals and their habitat". Another interesting day could be spent at the Cape Cod Natural Museum of History. "The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History in Brewster, Massachusetts, on Cape Cod, was founded in 1954. Our mission is to encourage and advance understanding of our natural environment through discovery and learning. The museum is housed in a 17,000 square foot building on its own 80-acre site, abutted by 300 acres of town-owned conservation land". They have amazing conservation walks with guided tours daily. Route 6a has a plethera of antique shops.  Hop in the car and go for a drive down the old kings highway and take in all the eclectic shops 6a has to offer.  Mini golf anyone?  Jump back into the days of the old with a round of mini golf in the hundreds of locations on Cape Cod, Ma.  I remember begging my mother and father to stop at Pirates Cove in Yarmouth.  I loved that place.  To this day my fiance and I still visit and put in a couple of rounds a year. Speaking of golf, Cape Cod houses a very wide range of golf courses ranging from par 3 courses to pga sanctioned courses.  If you need any advice on what courses to play let me know, I am a golf addict and try to play as many as possible. If you like to fish then you are in luck, there are tons of opportunities to fish on Cape Cod, whether it's visiting one of the many ponds and lakes and doing some freshwater fishing or hopping on a charter to take advantage of some of the best saltwater fishing around. I recommend Captain Tom George of Chatham Fish Pier Charters.  This should give you a couple of great things to do on Cape Cod, Ma. I will do some more updates in the future.
