If you’re craving salty air, sandy strolls, and that kind of seaside charm that instantly slows you down, I totally get it—I’ve chased that feeling myself, and Cape Cod delivers every time. You’ll find cozy inns, fresh-off-the-boat seafood, and beachy vibes that make it so easy to unwind. I’ve explored this stretch of the coast many times in my 26 years as a travel writer, and I always leave thinking, “You’d love this too.”
Here’s what I think you’ll fall in love with:
- I’ve wandered through charming towns like Chatham and Provincetown, and you’ll feel their character the moment you arrive.
- You’ll want to kick off your shoes for a beach walk or plan a sunset picnic—I’ve done both, and I still think about those quiet moments.
- I’ve tasted lobster rolls so fresh they made me pause mid-bite, and I know you’ll find a waterfront spot that hits the same way.
- If you’re up for a little adventure, I’ve gone whale watching, sailing, and even biking along coastal trails—you’ll have your pick.
- You can wake up to ocean views from a cozy B&B, and I promise, you’ll never want to leave that breakfast table.
