How to Experience Cape Cod Like a Local, With Charming Boutique Hotels, Fresh Seafood, and Stunning Ocean Views
Explore an idyllic stretch of Atlantic Ocean shoreline at the Cape Cod National Seashore via dune trails and meandering bike paths. You'll find everything from afternoon summer dance parties to high-fashion sneaker retailers and quaint coffee shops on Provincetown's Commercial Street, a beloved LGBTQ+ vacation spot that welcomes all. Dance away the summer nights at The Beachcomber, a ramshackle restaurant and live music venue perched atop the dunes of Wellfleet. You'll feel like a sea captain from the days of yore at the Candleberry Inn, a classic New England bed-and-breakfast steps from Cape Cod Bay. Lobster rolls may be the unofficial dish of New England, but Ceraldi has quickly become the most-coveted reservation on the Cape. This geographic flexed arm jutting from the Massachusetts mainland is more than just a quirky shape on the map—it's also a den of coastal charm and salty heritage. Cape Cod's sandy stretch of dunes and kettle ponds has long laid out its welcome mat for those in need of refuge and respite, from the early days of the Mayflower's 'saints and strangers,' who anchored in Provincetown Harbor, to generations of native Cape Codders and 'washashores' (the term locals use for people are not from the area). The spit's relative isolation has helped preserve both its bohemian enclaves, like Provincetown and Wellfleet, as well as its statelier corners, such as Osterville, Hyannis Port, and Chatham. But the Cape is evolving. A wave of new full-time residents, drawn by remote work and a post-pandemic lifestyle shift, has sparked a transformation. 'The cape isn't a little sleepy resort town anymore. It's really a thriving mecca for year-round living,' said Marc Sievers, a cookbook author and owner of Fête Among the Flowers in Osterville. 'It really is starting to become a destination that people are seeing as more than just a quick weekend.' Whether you're chasing sunsets or getting lost in a hydrangea-lined village, let the good times of Cape Cod butter up your lobster roll. Here's what you need to know before planning a trip to Cape Cod. A guest suite with a living room at the Bluebird Dennisport. Longtime Cape luxury mainstay Chatham Bars Inn is home to the pinnacle of summer socializing, where oysters and rosé at The Veranda can cap a day of reading from a private beach cabana overlooking Aunt Lydia's Cove. The ultimate splurge is a spa suite with a private steam shower and hydrotherapy tub. Wequassett Resort and Golf Club encompasses acres of hydrangea-filled gardens, and there are plenty of ways to pass a summer day, here—from kayaking to clandestine cocktails. Wequasset's guest rooms, villas, and cottages recently underwent a renovation that was completed just in time for the resort's 2025 centennial celebration. 'When people think 'luxury' on the Cape, it's probably the number one,' said Gayle Fee, a longtime Cape Codder and New England's doyenne of dish, who cowrote the Boston Herald 's Inside Track gossip column for 25 years. There's no better spot to catch sunset than at Awol Provincetown, located in the far West End overlooking the moors. Guest rooms and suites at this motel-turned-glam-retreat have a chic, minimalist vibe that carries outside to the fire pits and pool area, where neighbors for the week toast with cocktails from the guest-only bar. This Brewster bed-and-breakfast was named one of the best hotels in the world by Travel + Leisure readers in 2024. You'll feel like a posh sea captain at this Georgian-style home that's just a short stroll from Cape Cod Bay beaches. Breakfast is a decadent spread, but you'll also find thoughtful touches like a personalized package of goodies awaiting you in the dining room each afternoon after a day of exploring. Lark Hotels (the same parent company behind AWOL Provincetown) converted this former motor lodge into a contemporary, beach-y retreat that gives guests a chic, wood-paneled place to rest amid a summer sojourn to the Cape without all the bells and whistles—and exorbitant peak nightly rates—of some of the area's more established luxury offerings. Aerial view of a person walking along the Cape Cod National Seashore. Violetta Smirnova/Travel + Leisure This stretch of beaches, ponds, and wooded trails running from Chatham to Provincetown was established by President John F. Kennedy in 1961 and has some of the region's most popular sandy stretches, like Ptown's Race Point Beach and Nauset Beach in Orleans. 'The Province Lands, part of the Cape Cod National Seashore, are my favorite escape,' said Ken Fulk, an interior designer who splits his time between San Francisco and Provincetown. 'Here you'll find miles of bike trails, tidal pools in which you can float along like a lazy river, and vast stretches of often empty beaches—and don't miss the chance to hike across the immense dunes out to the great Atlantic.' The Cape's iconic hydrangeas are only a small piece of this 100-acre property, celebrating the rhododendrons initially hybridized by Charles Dexter, who experimented and produced hundreds of thousands of the flower varieties that still bloom on the property today. Flowers may be the main show, but the Heritage Museum & Gardens also has a vintage car collection and a working vintage carousel. The cross-bay rivals of Plymouth and Provincetown lovingly spar over who has a better claim as the Pilgrims' initial arrival destination. Visitors will find something a bit more impressive at the nearly 253-foot granite Pilgrim Monument that lords over Provincetown. It was built in the early 20th century to honor the Pilgrims' five-week stint on the Outer Cape, and it's a good alternative to the (rather infamously) underwhelming Plymouth Rock. Plus, you can climb to the top and take in sweeping bayside and Atlantic Ocean views. This Dennis, Massachusetts, stage can feel like Broadway's summer camp, given that everyone from Bernadette Peters and Julie Andrews to Humphrey Bogart and Henry Fonda has performed here since its 1927 inception. Today, you can expect to find locally orchestrated productions of hits like 'Rent' and 'Waitress.' Deciding which Cape Cod beach is the best for taking in a sunset with a sip of something fabulous can feel like picking a favorite child. But the expansive tidal flats and seclusion of Chapin Memorial Beach can feel truly otherworldly. 'If you can catch low tide at sunset, your head will explode,' said Adam Dunn, who co-owns The Pheasant restaurant in Dennis with his wife. 'There's this jaw-dropping view out there.' A woman leaving a store with shopping bags. Sure, there are shops hawking Cape Cod-emblazoned t-shirts and merchandise throughout the entire peninsula, but Cuffy's is a local institution that now has a boardwalk-themed flagship packed with all the swag needed to outfit you, your family, and any friend back home that needs a thank-you gift for checking your mail. Those looking for a little Cape design inspiration will find just the right home accents at this Osterville specialty food and floral shop that also sells throws, candles, and other small goods. It's the perfect place to find that treat-yourself splurge. Whether you're looking for a Tiffany lamp or a framed final menu from the Queen Mary, odds are you'll find it (and a slew of other vintage treasures) at this 5,000-square-foot emporium of eccentric finds. You may also need to pick up a vintage suitcase to cart your goods back home. It's hard to pick a specific gallery, boutique, or coffee shop to visit on Commercial Street, but we'll try. 'A few of my favorite shops include The Captain's Daughters for the perfect t-shirt, Clove and Creek for the best gifts, and the hidden John Derian shop tucked in an impossibly charming shed behind his house—you'll want everything,' Fulk said. Other locals in the know always swing by for beach provisions at Pop+Dutch, the town's go-to spot for sandwiches and sass. You'll find dinner party staples at Perry's Fine Wine & Liquors, an it's-an-insult-to-just-call-it-a-wine-shop kind of establishment hawking everything from hard-to-procure champagne and caviar to charcuterie and dips (plus, there are complimentary treats for the many four-legged visitors that come to town). A busy evening in erosion means you never quite know what the parking lot is going to look like each Memorial Day opening weekend at the Wellfleet Beachcomber, but the good times are always the same. Imbibing with a rum-forward Goombay Smash to the sounds of a local rock band performance is practically a rite of passage for a Cape Codder's summer Saturday night. 'I must have been a teenager when they first opened it, and they've been pumping out dance music and oysters ever since,' Fee said. The Atlantic House, or the A-House, has been Ptown's most iconic watering hole for more than 200 years—and has one of the best-known LGBTQ+ dance floors for a good chunk of that span. The drinks are strong, and the ceilings are low (not to mention the lopsided dance floor). But the line snaking down an alley and up the main road is an indicator that this is the place to spend a raucous night all year long. Dining room inside The Pheasant. The seven-course tasting menu at Ceraldi is a celebration of locally sourced ingredients and staples from the sea with an Italian twist (think: beef shank with Cape Cod blueberries and polenta arriving after a lobster risotto course). Maintain a hawk eye on availability, as an open seat at this Wellfleet chef's table doesn't come around often. An extra plate of meatballs or platter of cauliflower Caesar salad always seems to appear while diners debate who has the best entrée (chicken carbonara or lobster alla vodka, anyone?) en route at this candlelit Italian treasure in Ptown's West End. 'It's the clubhouse for the town's luminaries and washashores alike,' Fulk said. Fried seafood baskets have long been Cape menu staples, but the arrival of The Pheasant in Dennis played a major role in elevating the reputation of the local dining scene. Caviar service can kick things off before indulgences like lamb osso bucco and blood orange cheesecake. 'It's this fabulous old structure with plank floors, shiplap walls, and old oil paintings, but then they have an absolutely killer wine list and an absolutely over-the-top, creative but still earthy menu,' said Sievers. Obviously, one can't go to Cape Cod without splurging on at least some fried seafood. Sesuit Harbor Café serves heaping piles of fried whole belly clams, shrimp, scallops, and oysters (plus lobster rolls, of course) with waterfront views from picnic tables. Plus, it's BYOB. 'We'll bring a tablecloth, glassware, wine, and make it a thing,' said Erica Dunn, who's married to Adam Dunn, and co-owns The Pheasant with him. Picking a favorite ice cream shop on the Cape is as heated a debate as anything you'll find on Capitol Hill. Sundae School offers all the classics (don't miss the ice cream pies or the oh-so-popular banana splits) at locations in both Harwich Port and Dennisport. A coastal walkway on Cape Cod. Violetta Smirnova/Travel + Leisure The summer season runs between Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends and is best for those who want the convenience of more frequent ferry service from Boston or airline service into Cape Cod Gateway Airport (HYA) in Hyannis, Massachusetts. Some seasonal restaurants and shops do not stay open outside this timeframe, but the shoulder season from Labor Day through Halloween is an increasingly popular time to visit. Most retailers and restaurants remain open, hotel and Airbnb rates are lower, and sunny beach days are still possible. Driving to Cape Cod over its two main access points (the Bourne and Sagamore bridges) and the ensuing summer activity is part of the 'charm' and easily the most popular way to get to vacation. But 90-minute ferries from Boston—which has the nearest major airport, Boston Logan International Airport (BOS)—are an easy way to eclipse the Outer Cape traffic. Cape Cod Gateway Airport in Hyannis has seasonal service on select major U.S. carriers, plus year-round Cape Air service. The Hyannis Transportation Center has weekend rail service to Boston in the summers and year-round bus connections. Boats docked near a neighborhood in Cape Cod. Violetta Smirnova/Travel + Leisure The Cape's longtime haven for the bohemian, the eclectic, and the LGBTQ+ community has also become one of its toniest—while still maintaining the charm that draws people in the first place. 'Provincetown is as close as I ever feel to being a kid again,' Fulk said. 'We ride bikes recklessly down the narrow street, jump with abandon into the chilly harbor, then nap like a baby curled up with wet dogs. Could there be more joy?' This lace-curtained enclave of the posh and fabulous also has boutiques for fashionable post-beach dinner garb and housewares as well as jaw-dropping waterfront real estate for those looking to really splurge on a summertime home. This artist community beckons those looking for galleries to peruse, waterfront cocktails, and even a round of nine-hole golf with a waterfront view. Dennis is a beach lover's dream, and it has ample spots to dip your toes in the sand on both the Cape Cod Bay side (just mind the occasional oyster farm) as well as the Nantucket Sound side. The Cape's transportation nexus, Hyannis, is also the last stop for big-box shopping if you're heading onward to the Outer Cape. Hyannis Main Street has a mix of souvenir shopping and fun bars and restaurants, while neighboring Hyannis Port is where the Kennedy clan's compound served as a major backdrop to Camelot. One of Cape Cod's largest communities, Falmouth is a major connecting point for those looking to hop on a ferry to explore Martha's Vineyard or Nantucket. Hyannis ferry near the Lewis Bay on what part of Cape Cod you're heading to, you can reach it by land, by sea or by air. Ferry: 90-minute fast ferries are a convenient way to get from downtown Boston to Provincetown. They typically run during the summer or shoulder seasons with Boston Harbor City Cruises and Bay State Cruise Company. Round-trip services are $100 with Boston Harbor City Cruises, while Bay State service is $128. 90-minute fast ferries are a convenient way to get from downtown Boston to Provincetown.

What's up with the new signs on the Wellfleet Marina walking loop? Here's what to know.
Six new historical and educational signs have been installed along the Wellfleet Marina walking loop, according to a community announcement. The Wellfleet Cultural District, in collaboration with the Wellfleet Historical Society & Museum, Outer Cape Health Services and the First Congregational Church of Wellfleet, spearheaded the project. The official dedication is set for 5 p.m. Friday, June 6. The initiative began over a year ago, prompted by feedback from local merchants and town employees who noticed that many visitors and locals were unaware of the rich history visible from the Marina's scenic views. Cultural District Project Manager Kevin McMahon enlisted the support of local partners to bring the area's history to life. Working closely with David Wright, curator at the Wellfleet Historical Society, and guided by Cultural District steering committee member Lauren Kaufmann, the team developed six interpretive panels to be mounted on the Marina's existing railings. The panels were designed to complement the natural beauty of the harbor without disrupting its views. 'These panels are a beautiful extension of our mission to preserve and share Wellfleet's rich heritage,' said Eric Winslow, president of the Wellfleet Historical Society & Museum Board. The signs also feature a QR code that visitors can scan to access more in-depth information from the Historical Society. Each panel explores a unique aspect of Wellfleet's heritage: 'What Makes Wellfleet Harbor So Special?' delves into the harbor's extraordinary tides, Indigenous roots, and status as a vibrant working port. 'Great Island' recounts Native American history, the legacy of Samuel Smith's Tavern, and the transformation from historic hunting grounds to popular hiking trails. 'Wellfleet – A Great Place for a Summer Camp' remembers beloved local camps like Camp Chequessett, Treasure Cove, and Camp Mar-Ven. 'The Railroad and the Growth of Tourism' traces the impact of modern transportation on the town's development, positioned fittingly near the old railroad trestle. 'The Congregational Church — Keeping Ship's Time' shares the story of a church that still operates its bell on Ship's Time — an enduring maritime tradition. 'The Spit and Chatter Club' reflects on a popular waterfront gathering place throughout the 1900s. Part of the original Spit and Chatter Club structure now lives on inside The Pearl restaurant, where a small reception will be held following the unveiling. The panel also recalls the nearby Lemmon Pie Cottages, which were longtime fixtures of the Wellfleet waterfront. The panels were designed by committee member Josh Yeston using archival photos provided by the Wellfleet Historical Society, with contributions from Director Julia Lund and 2024 intern Jane Pottee. Additional input came from the Wellfleet Marina Advisory Committee, David Weeden of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribal Historic Preservation Department, Reverend Jonathan Elsenshon of Wellfleet's First Congregation Church, John Connor of the Historical Society Board, Seth Rolbein and the Wellfleet Select Board. Outer Cape Health Services collaborated with the Cultural District to emphasize the health benefits of walking the Marina loop. 'These historical markers not only educate but also promote movement and well-being,' said Dr. Damian Archer, CEO of Outer Cape Health. 'They align with our mission to support the health of all who live in or visit the Outer Cape.' The project was funded by the Mass Cultural District grant program. Designated in 2017, the Wellfleet Cultural District encompasses the town's vibrant downtown and Marina areas, creating a walkable cultural loop that highlights the town's artistic, historic and maritime traditions. With over 60 assets, including galleries, cultural institutions, artisan shops, eateries and a working marina, the District showcases Wellfleet's unique spirit and what makes it such a special place to live and visit.

Army veteran with 3-year-old son identified as man killed in Wellfleet hit-and-run Saturday
The man killed in a hit-and-run late Saturday night in Wellfleet has been identified by police. Timothy Duval, 24, of Tallahassee, Florida was a husband, and father of a 3-year-old son, according to a press release and post Monday evening on the Wellfleet police Facebook page. The case is still under investigation, but no arrests have been made, the statement said. Duval, an Army veteran, had been on vacation on Cape Cod and spending the night with a group of friends who he became separated from. He was killed walking along Ocean View Drive.

"Investigators are urging members of the public, including residents, homeowners, and business owners in the area, to come forward with any information that may assist in the case," the statement Monday night said.
