The Cape is everything you imagine: boardwalks, lobster rolls, sandy beaches, and postcard-perfect towns.
Cape Cod is spread out, so your home base shapes the whole trip. Pick a town that matches your pace: casual beach days, classic seafood counters, boutique shopping, biking, or a quieter off-season escape.
Mix seafood shacks with one sit-down dinner instead of trying to make every meal a production. Casual counters are great for lobster rolls, fried seafood, and beach-day lunches; save the splurge for a sunset or special-night meal.
